Almost everyone cites &#8220;stage placement&#8221; as a key learning outcome.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;d prefer to cut to the chase and not watch the seminar, please see our article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.musicademy.com\/blog\/10-tips-to-improve-your-worship-team-stage-placement\/\">10 tips to improve your worship team&#8217;s stage placement<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;d be interested to hear what you do in your churches.
