WORKSHOP OPTIONS INCLUDE: TOPIC: Songwriting Sprint INSTRUCTOR: Casey Corum A hands-on creative shot in the arm! After a brief TED talk on songwriting best practices, we will break out into songwriting duos to work on specific writing assignments. Then we will gather together and share what happens. This will be a time of creative activation where we can cut loose from our artistic roadblocks and have some fun! TOPIC: Emotional Intelligence for Leaders & Teams INSTRUCTOR: Melisa Keller What is Emotional Intelligence (EQ) and why is it important? EQ can be broken down into our ability to be self-aware, self-manage/regulate, self-motivated, and our ability to be empathetic and relational. Emotional Intelligence and our ability to draw on it as a reserve will help us in many ways: from assisting in looking after our physical and mental health and well-being to our ability to inspire, lead and work well within a team. Join me as we dig down into more of this important concept. TOPIC: Making the Band Master Class INSTRUCTOR: Mike O'Brien Music is more than just playing the right chords and beats. It’s more than just copying the recording or utilizing “tracks" to make it sound better than it actually does. Making the Band is a class to help you reimagine and find the joy in producing music together as a worship team. In real-time, using real instruments, Mike will break down a recording and build it back up, but for a smaller church context with volunteer musicians. Come ready to explore each instrument's role including specific vocal work. Everyone in your worship team will benefit from this class! And more!
