Testimonials

I am so thankful for the resources and the people of CMI. From the choral database to the high-level workshops to the encouraging phone calls, CMI is a treasure!
— Church Musician, Dallas, TX

Please do not take lightly my words of thanks and praise. The vision for the Church Music Institute and the hours of time and talent have given me, and many others, a great and lasting gift!
— Layperson, Dallas, TX

I've thoroughly enjoyed going to the CMI workshops over the last few years. We have used several choir anthems that were introduced at these workshops. The workshops always seem to appeal to everyone's needs. I have also used the CMI library and has been quite helpful for what we need at our church.
— Church Musician, Forney, TX

The Church Music Institute is an absolute treasure for serious church musicians. I use the "Sacred Choral Music Library" virtually every week as I plan music for worship services. CMI events are informative, inspiring, and affirming. The "Festival of Church Music" at the Meyerson Symphony Center was truly a "once in a lifetime" event!
