Certification For Musicians
September 15, 2007
Q. Is there any kind of certification process for musicians in our congregations?A. The Unitarian Universalist (UU) Musicians Network has developed a three-to-five-year certification process for UU musicians. Candidates must have served as a professional musician in a congregation for at least one year. Each candidate will work with an advisor and a sponsor to develop musical leadership and create a portfolio demonstrating these competencies. A Leadership Development Board will evaluate the portfolio and recommend the candidate for certification.
Coursework will be completed at home and at Unitarian Universalist Musician's Network (UUMN) gatherings. Cost is $350 annually, not including fees for the annual UUMN conference. Congregations are encouraged to support their musicians by including this fee in the music leader’s professional development budget.
