The Music Engine

Synopsis

Worship Team Dynamics

This workshop deals with the technical and practical issues that make a worship team effective. More specifically, how do you play together as a team and facilitate worship with your instruments?  We will also discuss the musical and stylistic issues all worship bands and worship leaders will encounter from topics ranging from choice of songs, rehearsals, and music arrangement to the flow of worship.

 
Outline

•    Less is more!  and the art of listening
•    Working relationship between worship leader and musicians
•    From D major to G major to C major
•    Can you "EQ" my guitar?
•    Music that pleases God?  It is beyond music!

 
Participant's Feedback

Enjoyed the balance the workshop brought. Thanks for truly answering the questions with honesty and wisdom.
- Jeremy Spence, First Baptist Church, OH, USA

Good workshop, dealing problems of both musical and spiritual.
- David Lu, Kepong Grace Church, Malaysia

Good to hear from every member of the worship band share. Layering concert was explained thoroughly through demonstration and it is very helpful to hear how different instruments/vocal come in. God bless your ministry! What you are providing now is much needed in Chinese Churches.
- Rebecca Wu, Seattle Chinese Alliance Church, WA, USA

Good info to use for traditional church striving to make gradual transition. Your faithfulness to our Father is so appreciated.
- Gail Brown, Wersailles Baptist Church, IL, USA

I benefited a lot from the session especially from the teachings and discussions. I get to know the power of “simplicity”, “silence” & team work.
- Qi Huei Chi, Tokyo Sunshine Christian Assembly, Japan

It's very good. A lot of appropriate suggestions that we did not think of ourselves; closed a lot of gap that we didn't know how to solve. Brought the team closer in terms of our purpose and being sensitive to the dynamics of the team and the music.
- Anna Yoong, Bethesda Chapel, Singapore

I appreciated hearing from each member on his/her perspective of their role. This workshop especially helped me understand the role of the instrumentalists in a worship team.
- Ardys Carpenter, First Baptist Church, IL, USA

Really enjoyed the discussion. Very inspirational spiritually. Good practical advice.

The Ten Commandments for Serving

Synopsis

"Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life."
-- Proverbs 4:23

(The worship team always includes the worship leader.)

Most of the time what hinders the growth of a music team (choir, worship band, singing group, etc.) is not necessarily the lack of musical talents or skills. It is the hearts and attitudes of the members.

We will highlight Ten issues that are potential stumbling blocks to the well-being of the team. This workshop offers a reality check.
