    The Sweet Aroma Of Sin

    I love music! It is the sweet aroma of my praise and sacrifice to God or better yet it is God’s tangible blessing that showers me every day of my life. But more times than I would have preferred I have overlooked Him to be only content with simply enjoying His gift. Right then and [...]

    quote
    A good way to visualize what we're doing when we destination-write is to imagine ourselves as a camera lens. The closer we zoom in, the more detail we see. The bulk of our writing will be spent zoomed in so close that we will see the very pores and veins of a place, person, or time.

    Those Empty Bubbles

    Those Empty Bubbles

      It happens to the best of us, and it surely happens to the rest of us: a cold, empty, air vacuumed thought bubbles. Some of you might have read about the benefits of writing frequently but have not yet started. Others might have already begun this daunting journey with applause-deserved courage. In either case, [...]

    Song DISCovery 2012: Is it right for you?

    Song DISCovery 2012: Is it right for you?

    While reading May’s edition of Worship Leader Magazine I saw an ad for Song DISCovery 2012. I had never heard about this conference before (don’t judge me) and I wondered if it was right for me. I did not find much info so I basically plunged in and registered just in case it turned out [...]

    The Piano In Contemporary Worship Part 2

     

    The Worship God Conference is a bi-annual worship conference for worship leaders, pastors, musicians, song writers, and tech teams. Organized by Sovereign Grace Ministries under the leadership of Director of Worship Development Bob Kauflin, this conference seeks to help leaders learn more about how to tell the glorious gospel story.

    This is Part 2 of the workshop given by Bob Kauflin during the Worship God Conference this year.

    This material was originally posted in Kauflin’s blog www.worshipmatters.com

    Things to remember:

    • Band’s Sound Spectrum: Guitars – 80-880 Hz; Bass – 40-260 Hz; Vocals – 110-660 Hz; Piano – 27-4200 Hz
    • Fills: Don’t tread on others
    • Use of left hand: Use your LH wisely or maybe not at all
    • Acoustic vs. Electric pianos: More dynamics possible with acoustic… play less.

    Dave Campbell and Neil Stuckenschneider are featured here helping on guitar and bass.

    This is surely one thing that is hard to explain, in a sense hard to completely nail down, but easy to develop once the player recognizes what to listen for and how to gain self-control. Leaders should communicate these points with abundant grace. Patience is highly required while teaching something as subjective and abstract as this.

    Piano and keyboard players, please know that we always have an opportunity to improve. Humbly observe these tips and decide what sound and style you want to achieve, submitting to the desired goals of your leaders.
