| High-quality and liturgically appropriate sacred music is a Trinity hallmark
and plays an important role in the traditional worship settings for which Trinity
is well-known. Trinity's music roots run deep – from Reading's first Singing
School in the early 19th century – to having the first pipe organ in the City. Trinity's rigorous music education program is accredited by the Royal School
of Church Music.
Music ministries at Trinity are comprised of a number of ensembles, the anchor
of which is the acclaimed Trinity Choir, which leads the congregation in
festive hymnody.
The music program is led by Dr. Rändel L. Wolfe. Mr. David Himes serves as professional Composer in Residence. Yongmee Bashore is the Runyeon Choral Scholar. Donna Osborne is the music librarian.

KINDERMUSIK
Kindermusik is an early childhoold music program hosted at Trinity Lutheran Church and led by Mrs. Tama McConnell.
For over 20 years Kindermusik has been and still is the world's most respected name in musical learning for young children. Every aspect of the Kindermusik program is grounded in these core beliefs: every child is musical, every parent is the child's most important teacher, the home is the most important place for learning to take root and grow, and that based on research, music nurtures a child's cognitive, emotional, social, language and physical development. |
