A few weeks ago I had the awesome opportunity to lead worship for a great group of college students and adults at College UM ARMY. It was great to have the opportunity to start and end our day with worship for 6 days in a row. After one of the services someone came up and asked if they could get a copy of some of the songs, to take back to their church.

So here it is. The College UM ARMY Worship songlist. Each song is listed, along with a link to where you can download it. (most often itunes)

All in All

Amazing Grace My Chains are Gone

Brother Friend

The Importance of Teaching

Russell Martin — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 06:23:22 +0000

When working with my youth worship team I often find myself emphasizing rehearsing the songs. After all, we generally have one event or another to prepare for so that means creating a songlist, and working up that music to perform or lead with.
I have realized, however, that there is a huge benefit to teaching, and not just rehearsing. When I first started to teach guitar lessons I told myself that I wanted my students to learn why a chord was what it was, what the names of the notes they were paying etc… Instead of just “play this chord”
I believed by teaching them how to learn to play guitar, then they could continue to learn whether I was teaching them or not.
The same thing should be true for worship teams. We should work with them to teach the basics of chord structures, rhythms, balance, tone, song structure, etc… So that they begin to recognize these things.
What’s cool is that when your group starts to learn these things, they begin to play musically together. You don’t have to explain every part of every song, but they begin to feel it.
For us this has resulted in more productive rehearsals, and more enjoyable ones too.
So what basic lessons would you teach a beginning praise band?
