Most of the sanctuary orchestra members have formal training and a broad background in music, allowing the execution of difficult pieces with minimal rehearsal time.

Westmore Music Academy

Westmore Music Academy began in the Fall of 2004. Westmore Church of God has so many talented musicians that we wanted to pass on our musical knowledge to the community and to ensure that Westmore’s newer generations continue to hold music as a high standard. The Academy offers the Cleveland area instruction in the development of musical skills which bring enrichment to life and increased opportunities for Christian Ministry. Through private and group lessons students receive training in note reading, music theory and aural discrimination while gaining knowledge of instrumental practice techniques. For more information contact Academy Director, Rita Ready at 423-599-9789
