Protestant churches are grouped according to church regions whose boundaries reflect historical political structures. At the regional level there are administrations with areas of responsibility and departments including those for church music and these are responsible mainly for advanced training matters (i.e. literary studies, work reflection). Church music associations, including the Association of Protestant Choirs in Germany and the Protestant Federation of Church Brass Ensembles in Germany, divide responsibility for the various music areas. The Association of Protestant Church Musicians is the relevant professional association; the Conference of the Heads of Church and State Training Institutions for Church Music and the Regional Church Music Directors in the Protestant Church in Germany is the body responsible for training matters. Church music associations can be found in the section Music Organizations under the heading Associations, Federations, Societies. Training and further training institutes for church musicians are listed in the section Music Education, Professional Training, Further Education under Church Music Schools and Colleges and Conservatories. |
