Steve Hurst School of Music at Lee University

Hey everybody!  I’m here at the Lee University for the Steve Hurst School of Music!  So much has happened already and the School really hasn’t even started yet!  I’m so excited!  I went on a tour of the campus at three o’clock and got familiarized with the classrooms and buildings.  At six I went to the orientation, where Steve talked about the classes and everything else students would need to know.

Some things that really stuck out to me was that this is NOT a click school – this is a family and in Steve’s words, “if you stand alone for a minute, three people will attack you!”  Also, this isn’t about singing or playing as good as someone else, this is about God using YOU!  He talked about how some of the songs written at this School made it into the Singing News Charts.  Hearing Steve talk about what all is going to happen this week encouraged me greatly, there is no way a person could listen to what he said and not want to dive into it full steam ahead!  Tonight, the Talley’s just blew the roof off of the auditorium!!!  Man are they powerful vocally, and even more importantly, the testimony they shared and encouragement given was very heartfelt.  I’m very thankful for all the artists who take the time from their busy schedules to support and help out with the school …. It’s going to be a very full week!

I just wanted to post a little note and let you all know that I do have internet here!  I’ll try to blog as much as my schedule will allow and keep you guys updated on my experience here and what the school is like on a day to day basis.  My first private piano lesson will be tomorrow with Josh Singletary!  Wha-hooo!
Signing off to catch some zzzzz’s!
