The legend of Orpheus illustrates the power of music. When his bride is cast into hell, Orpheus conducts a rescue mission. Using music, he charms all of hell, including Hades himself, and breaks her out.
Our culture and churches are filled with bad music. It’s not skillful, it’s not biblically grounded, and it’s ignorant of our rich heritage. Our music culture is infected.
In a very real way, we’re charming the hell out of music and culture. Music belongs to God, it’s made for his glory and his people.
Our quality courses set us apart. Our expert faculty take a personalized approach, so you get their intelligence and face to face guidance.

Recruitment Counselor at New Saint Andrews College
Raised in Sherman, TX, Jacob braved the midwest tundra to receive his BA at Bethlehem College & Seminary in Minneapolis, MN. He moved to Moscow in 2018 to pursue his MA at New Saint Andrews and pastoral training through Greyfriar’s Hall. He joined the team in 2019 and now spends his days calling students, writing and editing emails, and staring mysteriously out of the window like a sailor. His favorite Moscow spots include Tapped Taphouse and Kitchen, where he worked as a server, and Bucer’s Coffeehouse, where you can frequently find him “studying” amongst a swarm of New Saint Andrews students.
Schedule time with meSkill
Students get access to one-on-one training so they can master two instruments of their choice. Mastery is necessary for performance, but also for teachers and musical leaders—you cannot give instruction about things you don’t understand.
Leader
Students learn music history, Church music, and music pedagogy. You gain wisdom and leadership skills so you can lead your community and culture in a direction that God approves.
Knowledge
The Christian musician cannot hope to affect culture ignorant of how music works. A mature musician has to know musical grammar, syntax, and the language of musical ideas. So we give our students a rigorous foundation in music theory, analysis, and expect them to demonstrate their learning by composing and arranging music in that manner.
