The Performance & Composition Certificate at Heritage College and Seminary is an eight-month, campus-based program covering music composition, songwriting, and performance within a Christian community setting. Coursework strengthens instrumental or vocal performance through applied lessons and large ensemble work, builds music-arranging and composition skills including an introduction to songwriting, and pairs this with foundational Bible and theology courses such as Old and New Testament studies, hermeneutics, and Christian formation. The program culminates in a graduation recital showcasing each student's performance development. As a music program, admission requires an audition consisting of a music theory placement test and a video performance of two contrasting pieces. Running across the fall and winter terms of a single academic year, the certificate suits musicians seeking focused, short-term training in performance and composition alongside a grounding in Scripture. Classes are delivered on Heritage's Cambridge, Ontario campus.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:65.00 / %
Admission Requirements: Ontario Secondary School Diploma applicants need a minimum 65% overall average across six Grade 12 courses at the U, M, or C level, with one being English at 60% or above. As a music program, all applicants must audition, including a music theory placement test and a video performance of two contrasting pieces. Homeschooled, mature (21+), and transfer applicants have separate documentation pathways involving SAT, CLT, or transcript review. International applicants need TOEFL iBT 80, IELTS Academic 6.0, or CELPIP-General level 7; the college is not issuing study permits for 2026-2027, so international entry is to fall-term distance learning only.
