Music & Arts
The music of The Salvation Army is known throughout the world, with brass bands being the most recognizable form. Introduced to The Salvation Army by Charles Fry and his family in 1878, Salvation Army bands have since been a powerful asset in worship and evangelism. Today, music ministry, along with drama and dance, continue to find purpose in reaching local communities through youth outreach, instruction, and assisting weekly worship services.
The Greater Pittsburgh Music School operates out of the Pittsburgh Temple Corps. Since its inception in 2019, many young participants have gained the knowledge, experience, self-esteem, self-discipline, confidence and joy of music theory, instrumental instruction and song, along with sacred dance choreography and drama. The program aims to bring new hope to children in the Greater Pittsburgh area who are in need of the enrichment and encouragement an arts education brings.
Classes Offered (varies by location): Music Theory, Vocal Training, Band Instruments including Brass, Piano, Drums, Guitar and Timbrels, Sacred Dance Choreography and Drama.
