Welcome to the online portal of the Friends of Theocratic Music Association!
>> Who We Are <<
We are brothers and sisters who enjoy making music in our free time. We come mainly from Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Belgium, and the Czech Republic. Our name, FTM, stands for "Friends of Theocratic Music," and we came together as a private initiative to actively use Jehovah's wonderful gift—music—"together with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart."
>> What We Do <<
Our goal is to improve musical skills through practicing together in the orchestra or in small groups under the guidance of professional musicians who are also brothers. Mutual edification and encouragement are also a key focus. Concerts and performances are held from time to time.
>> What We Offer <<
- Making music for everyone, regardless of age, in our Freizeitorchester (FZO) with choir, easy band (preparatory orchestra), and youth band.
- Online Music School: Would you like to learn an instrument or singing, or improve your skills? Our music teachers (also fellow believers) are eager to meet you! Information about the online music school's procedures and terms can be requested at ftm-leitung@ftm-verein.de.
>> Join the Association <<
There are several different types of membership:
1. Active Membership: If you play music yourself, you can become an active member of our association and participate in our events on several weekends throughout the year.
2. Passive Membership: If you support our goals but don't play music yourself, we would be delighted if you would support us through a passive membership.
“Strengthen one another with psalms, hymns to God, and spirit-filled songs. Sing and make music to Jehovah with all your heart.” (Ephesians 5:19)
