Thanks for this training, it was very informative and useful. I do have one question that I was not able to ask during the live session, here is my question.
How would you handle where there are people that want to come to the weekly worship practice to play but are not on the team and are not on team playing on Sundays. Some feel I am being to narrow minded but what I am concerned about is our practice will have one type of dynamic and the Sunday mornings will have again something different if this happens. My team is small and young in abilities. Am I missing something? Speak honestly.
Phil,
I would, with confidence, explain that a rehearsal is not the context for a musical jam session. Musically, rehearsing only with the band that will actually play is vital. I.e. “Unfortunately our Sunday morning rehearsal is a closed rehearsal.”
However, a felt need for an evening, or multiple evenings, of “worship circle” (I talk about this in the arranging webinars) time may be showing itself. Consider a worship ‘jam night’ night where you provide chord charts, have a few solid musicians in the room, and gather anyone who wants to play/worship together to come. Any skill level. On those eves, people learn so much about being musical – and it’s a blast!
Dan,
It is great to hear what I have been (attempting) to communicate to musicians and bands regarding simplifying and allowing space in the song/musical spectrum to work to their advantage! No doubt trying to communicate these principles to musicians and band members bring the greatest level of stress and frustration to me. I always emphasize that it’s by applying these simple (difficult for many) principles is what separates “good”/”okay” bands from those that are considered “great”/”excellent”. Fantastic information that will definitely be shared with other musicians and artists!
Thank you!
