Songwriting Workshop with Worship Leaders Kenny and Claire in Clarksville

213 Main Street,Clarksville TN 37040

26 August, 2022

Description

WORKSHOP OBJECTIVE Our objective during this workshop is to learn basic songwriting skills, cowrite a worship song--both music and lyrics--and perform that song with the assistance of FPC musicians during worship on Sunday! KENNY AND CLAIRE are a husband-and-wife worship duo based in Nashville, TN. They write worship songs and rewrite hymns in a Folk/Americana style. Their goal is to encourage the church with lyrics and music that contain deep doctrinal truths and are firmly rooted in scripture. Listen to a sample of their music ("Are You Weary?") below. FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Clarksville believes that music-making is transformational. Musical participation expresses our love for God, affirms and teaches our beliefs, strengthens faithful relationships, exposes our strengths and growing edges in a safe space, and inspires discipleship beyond these church walls. Our worship music typically includes pipe organ works, traditional hymns, choral anthems, and contemporary songs done acoustically. Listen below to a song ("Reflect the Face of God") written by one of congregants for a sample of our style.
