Worship Training Day Facebook Live Videos

Worship Training Day Facebook Live Videos

We had a fantastic training day in Maidstone and shared live footage from the day on Facebook Live videos.

We’ve collected them all here (give them time to load) so you can watch.

These were filmed using mobile phones from our host church volunteers so are not professionally edited of course. The sound is straight to the phone rather than via the sound desk so please excuse any audio problems – we figured you’d rather see this material free-of-charge than not.

Opening worship and introductions to the day

This is a great example of working with two drummers and two keyboards. Mark Jones adds in percussion and hand drums to Terl’s kit playing.

The second keyboard adds to the overall sound rather than competing with the other instruments.

This session looks at the challenges of playing traditional hymns in contemporary worship and also explore modern hymns.

It includes some helpful music theory which teaches some of the techniques explored in our Playing By Ear Course including how to work out which chords are in any given key and how to simplify chords for more traditional hymns and carols.

Drums in worship

The workshop, with Psalm Drummer Terl Bryant, explores how you can build, adapt and play a drum kit appropriate to the size of the church and congregation.
