Credo programs

Develop the Gift • Acknowledge the Source • Respond in Service

Credo's educational programs go beyond technical development, encouraging students to pursue personal excellence on par with their pursuit of instrument mastery. In addition to its national offerings, Credo also presents a variety of community-based programming year-round across the country, working alongside local leaders and ministries to give students the opportunity to serve their communities and offer back the special emotional and spiritual healing of music.
