Christian churches has created an ever-growing body of music professionals who,
coming largely from a rock-influenced folk idiom, are often untrained in music
theory. As the style of music has shifted from the traditional model, stemming from
classical genres, to one dominated by popular music, many of these musicians see
theory education as impractical or at least unneeded given their particular stylistic
approach. In order to address this issue, a method must be developed, departing
from standard methods of theory pedagogy to one employing selected concepts and applications pertaining particularly to the context the contemporary worship
setting and presenting them in a manner immediately beneficial to these musicians'
vocational considerations. This thesis serves as a possible solution by proposing
such a method and comparing it to the approaches of three major theory methods
on these terms. / Committee in Charge: Dr. Jack Boss;
