Welcome to MUSIC 2 WORLD
Music is the language of the soul - unknown




You have just discovered the home page of Roger Thomassen.  I teach at Central Bible College in Springfield, Missouri in the Music Division.  See what is happening in Springfield. This page will eventually contain resources for my classes at the college, as well as research tools for music in cross-cultural settings, including links to ethnomusicology sites.  Since I am involved in training church musicians, there will also be worship links.  Thanks for visiting!  Keep a song in your heart every day!
