Abstract
This paper investigates the gospel music styles of John Aina and its relevance to music education in Nigeria. Consequently, music educators here include anyone who knows or have studied music both formally and informally and passes the knowledge unto others. John Aina studied music informally in churches and under various private tutors and had contributed immeasurably to the development of gospel music education in the area of orchestra development. This study therefore focused on his musical styles, compositions, and the juxtaposition of Western harmonic techniques on the Yoruba traditional folk tunes. The implication of the findings for policy and practice were also discussed. These included among others that the young gospel artistes should emulate his devotion to gospel music. In addition, his gospel musical style of incorporation of local folk tunes to make the gospel music culturally relevant should be adopted in contemporary music composition in Nigeria.
