Worship Band
13 through 18 years old
This is an audition-only class for students who are proficient at reading chord charts, can navigate their instrument, and want to learn the skill of playing on a worship team. This group is for students ages 13 through 18. In this course, we focus on understanding how to converse musically with a full band, stay on tempo, improvise, and learn the number system, among other things. Our goal is to equip students to be able to leave and feel confident in joining an active worship band in their own churches!
