The meaning of the name
“She came with an alabaster jar of very costly perfume. She broke the jar and poured it out.”MARK 14 : 3
She gave the most precious thing she had, and held nothing back. The Alabaster Room exists so every student can do the same with their gift: trained with care, offered with honesty, poured out in worship.

Each student builds technique, theory and ear on their own instrument, then learns to play as a band, whether that band leads a church on Sunday or plays a stage on Saturday.
Guitar
Acoustic and electric. Chord voicings, rhythm, lead lines and playing confidently from a chart.

Hand independence, pads and piano parts, and the harmonic bed that carries a worship set.
Foundation to advancedVoice
Breath, pitch and tone, harmony parts, and leading a congregation with ease.
