ICE Certification:
Training, Experience, Credibility
Training, Experience, and Credibility – all are necessary to
encourage culturally-appropriate music in missions. That’s where
ICE comes in – with motivation to get practical training in
ethnomusicology, grow skillful with those tools in your experience
on the mission field, and document your progress with a credible
certification that opens further doors for you.
These certifications are based on points gained from a variety of
activities:
- You become a
Certified Missionary Ethnomusicologist
through documenting your past training, practical field
experience, and professional involvement with other
ethnomusicologists (100 total points required).
- Or, you can earn the
Ethnomusicology Training Specialist
certification by demonstrating, in addition, that you have
significant teaching, training, and mentoring experience (130
total points required).
With EM Certification, you show you have met the high standards of
our Certification Committee, a distinguished panel of
ethnomusicologists. These EM professionals are committed to
establishing a credible standard for Christian missionary
ethnomusicology; those who wish to encourage cultural sensitivity
in the arts to support mission outreach. With your permission, we
will send press releases of your successful Certification to your
mission agency, newspapers, universities, and other organizations
you specify.
ICE Certification is all about opening doors.
- It’s about providing the
credibility you need with your mission and with your supporters.
- It sends a message that you
are not simply a self-styled “ethnomusicologist”, but that your
training, experience, and professional credibility have been
approved by ICE’s committee of EM professionals.
- It also gives ICE the freedom
to recommend you to mission agencies and schools as qualified to
teach, mentor, and be included in other ministry opportunities.
