The Worship Band class will teach students how to effectively work, play, and communicate with a band. Many musicians quickly learn that playing with a band is much different than playing as a solo artist.
In this class we will learn how each individual part works within the band. Students will learn how to play and improv with a group. They must also have a basic knowledge of chords, chord charts, and rhythms.
During the semester, the students will learn how to play well-known worship songs (Chris Tomlin, Passion, Hillsong, etc.) as a team.
