Through the combination of education and actual facilitation of music workshops, God has allowed me to see the need of knowing His heart regarding music ministry and practical teaching on vocal techniques. By the guidance of the Holy Spirit, I obtained a degree in Music Education with a concentration in Voice from Maryland University. The acquisition of the knowledge of proper classroom instruction enabled the proper facilitation of various music workshops. The spiritual compliment to musical education and experience is the knowledge that singing under the anointing of the Holy Ghost is what destroys the yokes of bondages, and that is vitally important.
In this 2-3 day workshop, the focus is on both areas: the practical and spiritual importance of music ministry. The spiritual goes hand-in-hand with the practical for it is the spiritual part of music ministry that prepares the heart of man. Although God is focused on "The Heart of a True Worshipper", there is a natural and thorough approach to correct voice production and the fundamentals of individual, ensemble, and choir singing. God has given me a unique and enthusiastic way of teaching singers and musicians.
The true measure of musical accomplishment is the ability to sing good music intelligently. The logical learning sequence in attaining this objective is:
- • Correct Breathing and Breath Control
- • Posture and Singing
- • Good Tone
- • Prevention of Voice Disorders
- • Basic Vowel Sounds
- • Vocal Exercises for High Voice, Medium Voice, and Low Voice
- • Sight Singing
The culmination of marrying these two vital areas of music ministry, spiritual and practical, is a concert at the end of the workshop. This allows all participants to immediately reap the benefit of attending the workshop by implementing both spiritual and practical techniques taught during the course of the workshop.
If you are ready to take the music ministry in your church to the next level, I believe that God has given me this wealth of information just for you and your music ministry.
