Here is a book I highly recommend for you as the Worship Leader (Student or Adult) to read, or even better have your band read together as a team.

Here I am to Worship - Tim Hughes

This is a great article to share with your student bands to get them thinking on why we get to lead worship.  If you are looking to share something with your students or your peers, this is a great article to print for your team.  We do this a lot with our bands and teams.  We have them read the article, discuss and pull out what they think, then apply and grow as a band.  There are many times we may disagree with an article and discuss why it makes no sense or is dumb.

So this is the tuner that I taught about in Episode 2 “The Tuner”. I know that this is basic, but if you’re a student or have students who are starting off playing guitar, make sure that they watch this episode about TUNING, its VITAL! This is a great tuner to save up for and comes highly recommended for acoustic guitars, electric guitars, and bass guitar players.

Note: For this tuner to work you need to plug it into your guitar with a 1/4 inch cable and make sure the volume on your instrument is turned up.

Note: Do not pay over $99 dollars for this tuner, that is the on going price, just check the internet. If you know your music store salesman and have good relationship you might be able to get it down to $90.

Simple pedal, but probably the most important for you and your students who are leading!!!

Please if you have any questions, comments, or snide remarks shoot us one and we will answer as best as we can.

This is the first in a series of “how to” episodes. We will sprinkle them in between our discussion format shows. This one is all about “The Tuner.” A little piece of gear that does a lot of work.
