SEMINARS
Singing with ALL ages!
Awesome Cutlery
Children’s songwriters and performers
We know singing is a wonderful part of a church’s life. But questions come when there are a range of ages present: How do we encourage children, without alienating adults? How do we point children in the path to maturity? And do I really have to do actions? This seminar aims to equip people to have constructive conversations about all-age music back home, and better serve everyone in their church families.
Living together as a Local Church in a Scottish scheme
Sol Fenne
Director of 20schemes music
Join us as we think through doing church in a Counter Cultural Community Church. What is it like to be singing in the darkness and how to be more helpfully writing songs for a specific ministry context.
Hymn Writing for the Local Church
Matthew Merker
Author, songwriter and director of creative resources and training for Getty Music
How can songwriters equip their congregations to sing the glories of Christ in fresh ways? In this seminar, we will explore several key facets of hymn writing to help you craft lyrics and melodies that serve the life of the local church. Whether you are still trying to finish that first hymn or a seasoned songwriter, there will be something here for everyone as we seek to develop our creativity together.
Leading from guitar
Ben Slee and Phil Short
Worship pastor at Christ church Mayfair, and professional electric guitarist

Leading from piano
Phil Moore

David Gibson
Music director at Christ Church Cockfosters
Join us as we consider how we lead others well from the piano. How do we make the most of using the piano/keyboard in a range of setups? In this time together we’ll think through leading with just the piano, piano and voice(s), small bands and leading from piano as part of a bigger band both in online and in person services.
Psalms for leaders and for leading
Phil Alcock and friends
