Music

Music Matters

Salem’s musical teams include some of the finest classical and modern musicians and vocalists in St. Louis, as well as musical guests from around the world. But our music is never just a performance. Our music seeks to inform and shape our faith as we praise God together each week. Our weekly worship services and special events highlight a variety of musical styles, but all of them are designed to inspire, comfort, challenge and transform lives.

Study Music at Salem

The Third Viennese School of Music® brings classical values into the modern era to train the next generation of creative artists. We believe the best place for young musicians to grow is in the church where they can thrive in a meaningful culture and use their skills to glorify God.

The church has been a home for classical music throughout history; we are revitalizing this beautiful art in the church by offering classical music instruction for children, teens, and adults at Salem United Methodist Church.  For more details visit https://www.3vsm.org/.
