Kent Walters, D.W.S.

In addition to directing the University Chorale and Credo, Dr. Kent Walters teaches Advanced Choral Conducting, Vocal Diction and Ear Training at Cornerstone University, where he is a professor of music and the director of music programs. He earned the Doctor of Worship Studies degree from the Robert E.

He received his B.A. in Secondary Music Education from Calvin University and a Diploma in Music Ministry from Grand Rapids School of Bible and Music.

“It matters to me that Cornerstone University is equally committed to academic rigor and spiritual formation for our students, both of which are personal passions in and outside of the classroom and rehearsal room.”
