What to Expect

John will be taking a simple look at what Praise and Worship is, and how you can apply those principles to your church band. While this workshop is aimed at worship leaders, the whole band is encouraged to attend.

John will specifically talk about:

The planning and selection of your Praise and Worship songs
Technical and Spiritual preparation
The chord construction of the songs
The purpose and your function in the praise and worship band
Creating space in the music to create the right mood
