Praise and Worship (P&W) bands in churches are springing up all over the world. There is an unprecedented emphasis on Praise and Worship in church thus the role of a worship band becomes more and more pronounced.
Most church P&W bands spring up from individual church members who play their instruments , gathering to play together in worship services.
Lots of them are self-trained or non-professional musicians. More and more do not even attend any music school for formal music lessons.
When they play together, though they have excellent music skills , the resultant music is either not in-sync , simplistic , uncreative or mundane. There is a need for worship music arrangement or at least some form of it for every worship service.
And this is a fact - rightly or wrongly, people attend church because they are attracted to good music (or worship)!
I have been a church musician ever since i accepted Jesus many years ago. I have been in church worship band since 1982 ! And i played the piano , synths , electric guitar , bass , drums , percussion , alto sax , C flute and i have done music sequencing for city evangelistic events.
I don't claim to know about everything in music arrangement but I hope to blog down all my experiences and teachings on worship music arrangement so that others could learn from them.
I really welcome constructive views and new ideas in this blog. But remember, everyone would be reading this blog in future. Please make sure what you post can be of help to those who wishes to learn. Hope you would be blessed from this.
