As a musician, one of your greatest mentors will be the music you listen to. It’s shaped the way I write, lead, and arrange music.
Many people have said to me, “You’ve been gifted with a great ear for music. You can just hear it.” I happen to think that’s a bunch of baloney.

“The problem with common sense is that it’s not too common” – Anonymous
What is common sense to every professional musician at every gig is virtually unknown in the church.
Why? Because those serving on the worship and tech teams are volunteers.
Over the last ten years I have presented workshops to hundreds of worship and technical teams offering practical, common sense solutions to the problems we are having in our churches as they relate to music and sound.

As anyone who works out regularly knows, it’s important to warm-up before getting into a vigorous work-out.
Why? It helps to prime the muscles for optimum performance and to avoid injury. We can apply the same concept to our vocals.

“Musical gear is too technical and mysterious to understand. Good thing I really don’t need to understand it.”
That is a lie I believed for far too long and my music suffered because of it.
A worship team is not a gig.
A worship team is more than music.
There is more at stake than tight music, killer harmonies, and great songs.
