On January 13th (Judyrsquos birthday) Worship Musician magazine co-sponsored the 2nd Annual NAMM Night of Worship Last year the first event was such a special time that I didnrsquot quite know what to expect with the second year Itrsquos like throwing a worship serviceparty in the middle of a huge mainstream conventionhellipyou really donrsquot know who is going to come But thank God into the huge ballroom at the Hilton Hotel (right across from the Anaheim Convention Center) streamed a crowd of more than 1200 peopleThe WATS folks (Worship Arts Technology Summit) were our

partners again which meant that we had the resources of Yamaha Shure Elation Lighting Media Shout and Yamaha Commercial Audio all at our disposal Not bad eh The day of the event I stopped by the ballroom to see how my favorite live sound guy Worship Musician columnist John Mills was doing John was thrilled with the sound quality of Yamaharsquos NEXO sound system and their MC7 digital board That was a good sign of things to comeAs the evening drew near I wrapped up my meetings on

the convention floor and went back to the Hilton to see how sound checks were going This was a bit of a struggle last year and my hope was that it would go more smoothly this year Well that was a good thing to hope for but since we had three well-known artists all playing in the same set with different backing musicians and singers swapping in and out ndash well letrsquos just say the sound check was more stressful than ever We were running out of time hadnrsquot given everyone

a chance to dial in on stage and I had already held the doors for over twenty minutes YikesAs Paul Baloche once told me

ldquoLet the crowd in Itrsquos no secret that we have sound checks Maybe the people can learn something by observationrdquo So I opened the doors and the crowd entered and immediately joined in and began worshiping along with the band still sound-checking on stage That was another good sign of things to comeTommy Walker and his nine-

piece band opened up the night

the guitar and he was smitten by the tone and playability of

the guitar ldquoWhen I first picked up the Wickstromrdquo Brian commented

ldquoIt felt like I was coming home It felt great stem to stern and strumming the first chord (DF) it rang with rich tones all around A new song wanted

to flow from my fingertips to my hearthellip it was very inspiringrdquo

Wow That is a ringing endorsement The fret board is ebony and the neck is

thin and comfortable The nut width is a roomy 1amp34rdquo wide and Craigrsquos fretwork is spot on The tuners are high quality Waverlys and the slender headstock has an Indian rosewood veneer The neck

also sports a volute that is stylish and comfortable for your left hand to rest against

when playing your first position chords What sets this guitar apart even more is the fact

that the neck is a glued set neck (not bolted) A set neck is more work to build but gives a better resonance up the entire length of the guitar The heel is elegantly sculpted and feels great when you reach up higher on the register with a Florentine cutaway available as a custom option The base of the heel has a beautiful slant to it that also adds to the overall custom feel of the instrumentCraig hand-selects the wood for each of his guitars and

builds the entire instrument from start to finish himself which means there is a limited availability He is a one-man luthier shop and he is really on to something special with this design The guitar feels light in your hands and playing this guitar is infectious Once you start playing you simply donrsquot want to put it downEach Grand Theatre guitar comes with a Highlander pick-

up system and a hard-shell caseThis guitar will Map at $269995 More info at

Editorrsquos Disclaimer ndash We are launching a retail sales website of our own at wwwworshipguitarplayercom and we are grateful to be a dealer for Wickstrom Guitars (among other products) Since I wrote this review myself I thought you should know

I first met luthier Craig Wickstrom about 5 years ago He is a fellow believer from Olympia WA who was hand building a really nice acoustic guitar for a very affordable price The more I got to know Craig the more I thought ldquoThis is a guy to watchrdquo We kept in touch off and on over the years and then last month at the NAMM show while I was standing at our magazine booth up walked Craig Wickstrom himself He told me he had a new guitar design that he would love for me to take a look at in his booth in Hall ldquoErdquo The next day I set out on a mission to find Craigrsquos guitars Irsquom really glad I didHe has created a uniquely designed

acoustic guitar with a cantilevered neck and a round offset sound hole The body shape is smaller than a dreadnought and the tone woods used for the top back and sides are all solid woods Craig refers to this special size as a Grand Theatre (smaller than a dreadnought but not as small as an Auditorium size guitar) In his booth he had three different wood combinationshellip one a mahogany back and sides with a cedar top a second was an Indian rosewood back and sides with a Sitka spruce top and the third sported a Brazilian rosewood back and sides with an Engelmann spruce topI played them all and was quite impressed with the

sound quality Plus the wood binding work and overall craftsmanship was top notch When I heard how much he was asking for an instrument of this quality I again thought to myself ldquoHow can he sell this much guitar for so low a pricerdquo I saw a well-known worship leader friend of mine (who shall remain nameless) walking down the convention aisle and I pulled him into the booth to try out the Wickstrom This particular worship leader happens to own several different really nice hand-made luthier guitars and after playing the Wickstrom he was very impressed with the quality and couldnrsquot believe the pricing eitherConsequently my interest in the Grand Theatre was

boosted even more I decided right then and there that I wanted to review this guitar There are many wood options you can select to customize this guitar but the standard one that most worship leaders would choose would be the Indian rosewood back and sides with a Sitka spruce top This is the model I have with me today for review purposesA cantilevered neck has been around for a long time in

violins and jazz top guitars The benefit of it is that the top vibrates freely giving you a well pronounced sustain The round offset sound hole is closer to your headears than a regular sound hole which sits in the middle of a guitar so you get to hear the instrument much better ndash kind of like a personal monitor And what your ears instantly pick up on is a great big warm bass sound along with good mids and highs that ring out clear and true The dynamic range and clarity of the tone really shines through The Grand Theatre has itrsquos own ldquovoicerdquo Wickstromrsquos bracing is unique as it is made with a

scalloped X brace with a single scalloped tone bar instead of an upper bout cross bar It also utilizes a sound patch here and at the bridge plateI let our handy customer service manager Brian Felix try

I broke a kick drum head all the way through the other night But NOooo not at sound check or a session where we would just take a break and fix it It was the FIRST song of the evening in a concert with Paul Baloche Well I just kept on playing with

the ldquokickrdquo mallet flopping through the perfectly sliced drumhead The rest of the band looked at me with that ldquoWhat are you doingrdquo sort of look There had been a definite change in the sound and feel of the music The next song was supposed to start immediately after the first So I counted it off and proceeded to play the floor tom with my right hand for the kick pattern and the snare with my left for the backbeats At the same time I played 8th notes on my hi-hat with my left foot It actually worked pretty well Paul turned around and gave me a funny look and later commented he thought I was trying to be creativeWhile keeping a smile on my face and

just pouring my heart out in worship we got through those first couple of songs without ldquocrashingrdquo At the end of the second song I told Paul what happened I ran off the platform and made a beeline for the church choir room Earlier in the day I roamed around the

building exploring the church as I often do when we travel There was an old drum set in the choir room that became my lifesaver for the eveningWhile Paul shared with the

congregation and played a more ldquounpluggedrdquo tune I borrowed the bass drum from that old beat up kit and took it to the stage In a few seconds with the help of the sound crew the drums on the platform were ready to go againhellip ldquoBamrdquo we were back in businessThis also has happened at a rehearsal

recently at the Chattanooga House of Prayer Fortunately I had spare drumheads in my van We were able to take a short coffee break in order for me to change the head (See Photo ndash In both situations it was a single ply head Thatrsquos why I usually use double ply)I have been accused of being too

cautious at times Jokes about all the extra stuff I carry with me are often heard at sessions or on tour ldquoAsk Carl Irsquom sure hersquos got it in his bagrdquo hellip ldquofingernail clippersrdquo ldquohellipa 9 volt batteryrdquo ldquohellipa guitar cablerdquo ldquoduct tape Itrsquos not that Irsquom paranoid Irsquove just learned to expect the unexpected Please donrsquot think of this as bragging Irsquom just grateful to those who have taught me about being ready for anything

The primary rule for being prepared is 1 BE PREPARED ndash Go to the job as

if no one will have anything you need That should mean having these things in your stick bag and road cases I also have spare parts like this at our churchbull A large supply of sticks brushes

mallets etc - of varied weights and models for whatever you have to play Also keep a few pairs of sticks in places other than your stick bag (ie in your luggage or other cases) Yoursquoll be glad you did if your stick bag is ever lost or delayed in flight

bull Spare parts for every moving part on your drums kick pedal springs straps nuts amp bolts pins for footboards etc etc

bull An extra hi-hat clutch (The device that holds the top cymbal of your hi-hat set) Yes I have had that piece mysteriously disappear especially when renting drums on the road

bull Cymbal stand wing nuts felt washers and nylon sleeves for cymbal stands (You can buy these items at most music stores) TIP Go to a hardware or auto parts store and get felt nylon tubing and other spare items for much less money

bull A kick drum head patch pad On most kick drumheads especially double-ply heads you can see a small split begin to happen Before it becomes the nightmare I described earlier use a patch at the point of attack I know the sound is a little different but in ldquoliverdquo settings itrsquos a lifesaver

bull Extra drum heads for each drumbull String or straps for your snare drum

And a 2nd snare drum just in casebull A few spare drum lugs They get

loose and come out from all the vibrations They also fall out of the road case never to be found ldquoGo figurerdquo

bull An extra kick drum pedal One that you can fold down to fit into a tour case or piece of luggage Even if you have parts you donrsquot want to take time during a concert to rebuild a pedal It doesnrsquot have to be expensive Just get one

bull And of course a small roll of DUCT TAPE The ldquoquick fixer upperrdquo for all musicians

The whole drum set is usually duplicated on big tours This is not the norm for most of the smaller tours or ldquofly datesrdquo

Normally I only take three pieces of luggage when flying My luggage for clothes also contains my stick case The road case with my cymbals also has a spare kick pedal These 2 cases are checked My 3rd piece is my carry on with my laptop some books a mixer and other personal items The drums and other gear are supplied

by the concert organizer If the budget will allow it Irsquoll bring a case with 2 snare drums The airlines are charging for the extra bags now so Irsquove been making that a rare option I only do this when Irsquom working on a recording or the artist request itI always send a very detailed list of

things I need for an event or concert Allowing for supply problems I give plenty of options For example Irsquoll give a list of several snare drum options or even different drum manufacturers so that my ldquodrum riderrdquo(a contract equipment list) doesnrsquot look like the search for the ldquoholy grailrdquo I still contact the event coordinator to verify that everything is OK Believe it or not sometimes they donrsquot read the contract or riders that artist send So the other rule of preparing is 2 COMMUNICATE COMMUNICATE COMMUNICATEAfter all of the preparation I still do the

walk through I mentioned earlier Just to get an idea of what is available for an emergency If Irsquom traveling with all of my own gear thatrsquos not usually a concern I may still do it just for the fun of exploringWho knows the equipment truck might

break down or get hijacked by terrorists looking for my drums Nah ldquoThat would never happen to

me rdquo

This past Sunday I faced the perfect storm of scheduling challenges in trying to build the rhythm section for our Sunday morning gatherings The Super Bowl was going to be played later that day and many of our musicians from the youth group were at their Winter Camp Both of these factors whittled down my list of available musicians considerably Still I was able to build a four piece band and things went well Some of what happened on the platform is ripe for discussion here so letrsquos jump in

I suspect that most of you are like me in that the worship teams with which you play most often have a five member rhythm section drums bass acoustic guitar electric guitar and keyboard Your team may be a variation of this rhythm section but I suspect that the majority of our teams are similar in that they involve two guitars probably an electric and acoustic On this Super Bowl Sunday no acoustic player was available so we went with drums bass electric guitar and piccolo Just kidding No piccolo Making sure yoursquore paying attention Drums bass electric guitar and me on keyboard

Because our rhythm section was smaller than usual each player took on a different role than they would have had there been an acoustic guitar player with us that day The musical concept that we put into practice was an essential one for each of us Consider the context

Are you playing solo keyboard for a small group meeting What you play should be different from what you play if yoursquore joined by a percussionist Are you part of an eight piece rhythm section where yoursquore playing auxiliarysecondary keyboard What you play should be different from what you played with the percussionist

This isnrsquot just true of you but is true of every player in your rhythm section On Super Bowl Sunday for example we lacked the acoustic guitar playerrsquos ability to strum lightly when we did a ldquobreakdownrdquo chorus of one of our songs Yoursquove heard and probably played many breakdown sections where all instruments but one or two (often an acoustic guitar) would

typically drop out During Sundayrsquos breakdown chorus our drummer responded to the context by providing some light 16th note activity on his hihat imitating the rhythmic contribution an acoustic guitarist might have provided

At this moment the rest of the rhythm section also gave thought to what we should play The goal in this breakdown section was for the instrumentation to thin out noticeably So the electric player continued along with the drummer and the bass player and I dropped out

We could have all kept playing but played lightly By not playing though we made room in our arrangement for there to be a sense of musical momentum as the chorus continued When the bass player and I reentered we helped the texture and dynamic of the music build into a final chorus and there was a real sense of payoff as we sang that lyric for the last time

Though we changed certain things we did in our rhythm section that day there were plenty of things we did like we always do One of those was to involve hooks in our arrangements A hook is a melodic idea usually presented in the intro of a song That hook is heard again often when the first chorus of the song ends and then at the end of the song as well It may be heard at other places during the arrangement too but is characteristically featured in these three spots at least

So in the context of our four piece band on Sunday if there was a hook that the acoustic guitarist might have carried either the electric guitar player or I played it Note that the bass player definitely could have played the hook instead Have your bass player do this sometime It can be a very effective arrangement idea and a fun challenge for your bass player

Regardless of whorsquos playing the hookrsquos melody each of the other players on the team who might play melodic activity need to stay out of the way of the hook When a hook is being established at the beginning of an arrangement or reused during the arrangement itrsquos crucial that no one else play competing melodic

material The hook must have the spotlight at this moment If another melody is played along with the hook itrsquos like having two people talk to you at the same time Confusing and frustrating for the listener and definitely musically distracting

Just as instruments dropping out help a breakdown chorus contribute to the musical momentum of the arrangement restating hooks has the same effect Be intentional when using a hook Donrsquot feel like you have to do some super creative variation of the hook each time it recurs Quote it literally Same melody Same range Same instrument Thatrsquos how hooks are most often heard on recordings Try that yourselves regardless of the context

Be clear on these things as you rehearse your songs Determine who will play the hook Determine what yoursquoll do within the rhythm section when a breakdown comes along Actually think about what yoursquoll do to make all sections of your song be musically distinct from each other Is the whole band playing loudly for the intro when the hook is first heard Come down a bit for the verse Ramp up dynamically to the first chorus Or as is modeled so beautifully on many of Hillsong Unitedrsquos tunes (for example ldquoDesert Songrdquo on their This Is Our God project) break down the first chorus Then restate the hook in a reintro Bottom line Let there be a sense of arrival musically as the sections of your arrangement are heard You can do it On solo keyboard With a percussionist In that 8 piece rhythm section

Consider the context This sense of actively considering what yoursquoll play as your arrangement progresses can keep you musically engaged and by the grace of God help you and your congregation engage in worship Jesus thank You for the privilege Yoursquove given us to give our hearts our hands and our musicianship back to You Your love is amazing

worship leader Hebrews 1317 says ldquoObey them that have the rule over you and submit yourselves for they watch for your souls as they that must give account that they may do it with joy and not with grief for that is unprofitable for yourdquo In this context the word ldquoobeyrdquo means ldquoto be persuaded and confident to be free from fear or doubtrdquo When we obey those who serve it brings us confidence and freedom from fear But as musicians we must be an example of what our worship leader feels that God is trying to say We serve by listening and by being sensitiveAuthoritySkillAuthority is simply the right to act in

a specified way delegated from one person or organization to another Through knowledge of our instruments and knowledge of scripture we are graced with the ldquorightrdquo to lead people into worship and into further intimacy with Him We should be driven to be nothing less than experts on our instruments Bassists do have authority and I also believe that every musician in the worship team is a worship leader in his or her own right We truly lead from our instruments and are called to do so skillfully But authority comes from God and is only attainable without pride (God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble) Pride always leads the way to selfish ambition and self-promotion We must constantly be on our guard against pride

As we grow in our skill humility confidence and servanthood we will continue to realize more authority in our position as well as maintain our integrity We must continue to realize our aspirations to be examples that other musicians can look up to and learn from

ReflectionAs we pray for growth and guidance

in our quest to be the best we can be we should all have a ldquopunch listrdquo of personal traits we need to maintain as highly called musicians Balancing and strengthening these traits can be quite a spiritual and emotional ride There are several basic root-level human traits that we must keep in check to better serve Him Here are some to considerConfidenceWe rely on the Lord He gives us our

talent and we must continually praise Him for that Seeking opportunities to return it to Him is the least we can do It is our responsibility to keep our abilities at a fine-tuned level so that our worship leader can always depend on us I firmly believe that the more we practice the more confident we become thus keeping our minds clear for inspiration and guidance In my opinion a good definition of a professional musician is one who never plays more than 95 of his ability which simply means to always play in control That is a good kind of controlBalanceThere must be a good balance

between a playerrsquos confidence as a musician and as a person Confidence among musicians in the worship team often can swing in the other direction if wersquore not careful If we take ourselves too seriously as musicians therersquos a good chance that arrogance will emergeSelf-AssuranceWe need to be confident in our

playing ability in that we have more than enough to serve with - not to dazzle with Dazzling would fall under the category of ldquoman-pleasingrdquo or ldquoperformancerdquo These are spiritual issues that we certainly donrsquot want to wrestle with Ephesians 612 saysrdquo For we wrestle not with flesh or blood but with powers and principalities against the rulers of darkness in this world and against spiritual wickedness in high placesrdquo Self-assurance rising up in you is good but ego is notIntegrity (of the tongue)Gossip has no place anywhere near

repeat the story to anyone Remember James 411 says ldquoSpeak no evil of one another He who does so judges them speaks against the law and judges the lawrdquoHumility by DefaultThere are different ways to consider

humility such as lack of pride lack of vanity meekness submissiveness etc Every one of these traits is desirable for us as Christians not just as members of a worship team If we focus our attention on God and off of ourselves we canrsquot help but hit the mark Most importantly always remember that the opposite of humility is prideResponsibilityResponsible by definition means

having an obligation to do something or having control over or care of someone as part of onersquos job or roleAn important responsibility as the

bass player in the worship team is to ldquosimplyrdquo hold everything together To do this we must be accomplished musicians as well as ldquoprayed-uprdquo believers We have to be super attentive ultra-sensitive beings as we watch the worship leader and listen to the Holy SpiritDependabilityTo be credited for holding down the

foundation of the rhythm section (with the drummer of course) is a pretty awesome feeling When the bass and drums are listening to each other and ldquolocking inrdquo together good things always happen in the musicSensitivityIt is all musiciansrsquo responsibility to pay

close attention to our ldquogeneralrdquo the worship leader We must watch their eyes hands and body language to discern the next part of the song the dynamic etc If yoursquore not watching you may cause a huge train wreck or severely frustrate the worship leader Either of those mishaps can hinder what God wants to do at an important time in the worship service The worship leader trusts us to play tastefully in tune and with great restraint and never to overplayServanthoodA servant is basically a person

Last time I talked about the concept of holding annual auditions for your choir or worship team I outlined some good reasons for implementing auditions and mentioned some of the benefits This is the first of a two part series where Irsquod like to offer suggestions as to how to hold effective auditions that can prove beneficial to both the leadership and the folks auditioningYour MindsetFirst of all I think itrsquos important for you as

a leader to have the right mindset about auditioning This is NOT American Idol The purpose of these auditions is to help people find their gifts and use them It is to help build up the church We are not just looking for talent nor are we trying to elevate certain peoplersquos gifts over others We are simply trying to help people find their place in the correct area of service for how God has equipped them So the audition process should be educational not simply a way to include some and not others Because we have in mind to educate and

encourage we need to design the process with those two elements in mind This is also about discovery for us in leadership as well So we need to define a few key things as we go forward planning the process Some things will be specific to your church environment and needs so Irsquom just going to offer some general concepts which can be modified to meet your individual needsHelpFirst of all you should not attempt to

hold auditions with only you as the ldquojudgerdquo There are many reasons why this is important First of all you are not completely objectivemdashno one ismdashand the more input you have the more likely you are to come to a more objective conclusion I do think that in the end you as the leader can make final decisions if necessary But I think itrsquos very important to get lots of input So I suggest you find at least 2-3 other people to join you in the process Other qualified people from outside your church would be especially valuable because of their objectivity By putting together a ldquopanelrdquo you also make it easier on everyone Itrsquos easier to sing for 5 people than it is to sing for 1 Make sure your share with the panel

what they are looking for It would be nice if you made up sheets for each of them that they can simply fill in for each person that auditions This way you can help direct their thinking toward the things that are important to you These sheets will be very helpful as you make your final decisions

and as you create a valuable assessment for each applicant I have been involved many times with

churches throughout this process My presence has helped to lend a measure of credibility to the whole process In addition having someone from outside can help to relieve some of the pressure off of YOU It might be easy for some people to feel that you have a bias or an agenda some people may even have negative feelings toward the idea of auditions and inadvertently project them onto you Although we want to make this a positive and uplifting experience for everyone there may be a few disgruntled folks in the end who want to find someone to ldquoblamerdquo for the outcome That someone will likely be you If you have others from outside your church their presence can help to validate what yoursquore doing as well as make it less likely that yoursquoll have to shoulder all the responsibilityA Take Away for ThemAn important aspect of having effective

auditions and making them a positive thing for all involved is making sure that everyone benefits from the process Even folks who may not be ready yet to step onto a platform and serve on a worship team can still in the end feel the process was positive and beneficial if handled correctlyOne of the things that I find important is to

give feedback Some feedback may be given during the audition itself but what I find effective is to actually present each candidate with a written assessment This written assessment may take some time to do but it will make the whole process a lot more valuable In this assessment you can give specific indications about the personrsquos current qualifications Additionally in the case of someone who is not quite ready to join a team you can also give hope by outlining specific things they can do to ultimately become ready I think itrsquos important whenever possible to give someone adequate hope and direction Try to be specific about what they need to achieve and how they can best achieve it Give them a time frame for being able to come back a re-audition if they feel they may now meet the qualifications Having a written record will also be helpful for you in the future when they do return to re-audition so that you can compare and see what their progress has beenAdditionally there may be some whom

you feel might be able to gain those skills necessary most effectively by being on the team These people can be

given a provisional chance with specific guidelines For example they need to be re-assessed in 3-6 months to be sure they are working toward their goals in a timely fashion This ldquoprovisional membershiprdquo gives you some protection for giving someone a chance that might not quite be ready but that you have great hope forBy giving everyone a ldquotake-awayrdquo the

process can be a positive uplifting as well as growing experience for everyone In a sense almost no one is turned away because they are always given a path toward ultimately achieving their goal If they choose not to follow the ldquopathrdquo (instructions yoursquove given them) then they have made the choice not to join the teammdashnot you With an attitude of humility however everyone can take the constructive criticism yoursquove offered and grow from it StructureI suggest having people register for a

specific time slot ahead of time When they register you can hand them instructions and a form to fill out The instructions should include when to arrive where the auditions are what to expect what to bring and how to prepare I would allow 15min for each audition it should only take about 10 but itrsquos nice to have a little leeway The form should provide space for them to fill in important and pertinent information relevant to the team such as availability previous experience and skillsWhen I do auditions I like to have people

come prepared to sing a portion of a song with a CD accompaniment track and also a verse and chorus from a worship song accompanied by a keyboard They should be responsible to provide any music necessary and you should provide the CD player keyboard and accompanist I feel itrsquos important to see how a singer responds to both acoustic accompaniment as well as the orchestrated recorded accompaniment After hearing the songs theyrsquove prepared I will typically run them through a series of exercises to determine various things like range vocal independence ability to sing harmony andor make up harmony on the spot etc (I will elaborate more on this in part 2)Next time wersquoll get into specific of what

to look for and how to determine who can be a good fit for your team Wersquoll also explore alternate avenues for using some of the ldquoleftoverrdquo people whorsquod love to serve even after yoursquove met your quota Until next time God bless and keep on singing

There are many churches are making the jump to digital consoles these days Why is this Better sound Save-able settings More bells amp whistles Affordable Irsquod say lsquoyesrsquo to all of these in most cases except maybe the lsquoaffordablersquo question until nowThe PreSonus StudioLive 24 channel

console is a great option for the small to medium-sized church doing worship services with a standard sized band (drums bass electric guitar acoustic guitar keyspiano handful of vocalists) Itrsquos a great option because it offers 24 XLR inputs with Class A mic pre-amps a FAT channel for each input (more info below) 10 aux sends 2 built in FX channels 4 sub groups and more all for less than $4k at most dealers many listing for $3300 Why is this such a great deal well for me there are three reasons 1) The Fat channel 2) Multi-track recording 3) remote control via iPad (or laptop)Speaking of medium sized churches

my church in Tacoma is considering the move to a digital console I have had the good fortune to take this PreSonus 24 on a test drive to see if it will meet our needs The most important factors right now are cost and quality and can we risk losing a 40 channel analog console to a 24 channel After spending some time weighing the pros and cons the benefits from the smaller PreSonus console outweigh the additional 16 channels that wersquoll lose Wersquoll make up for the convenience of multiple channels by installing a patch bay for simple switching And if we really wanted to in a few years when the economy is back on itrsquos feet we can purchase a 2nd SL24 and daisy chain it to the first one via firewire for 48 inputs So what is it about the PreSonus that

sold usFirst of all let me just say that the mic

pres for this console sound amazing Very clean and clear It was the first thing my pastor and my worship leader said they noticed right away that the quality of the sound was clearer than it had been before As mentioned above the Fat Channel

is what makes this SL24 so amazing in my opinion What is the FAT channel Itrsquos the meat of the console it contains a phase reverse button high pass filter a gatedownward expander compressor limiter and 4 band parametric EQ The

phase r e v e r s e and high-pass filter can be applied to each and every channel But the dynamics processing (compressor gatedownward expander and limiter) and the fully parametric EQ can be applied to every channel aux subgroup FX bus and the main bus Anywhere you see a Select button on the mixer you can apply the Fat Channel The Fat Channel also is where you assign channels to buses and do panning And the mixer has enough DSP in it that you can apply every processor in the mixer to every possible channel and bus simultaneously and you will never come close to using up the processing power This is great In our previous scenario with our analog console we only had compression for 6 channels so wersquod have to pick and choose which ones would get it We simply could not afford to purchase a compressor for all 40 channels let alone 24 Now every single input can have compression and limiting and a gateexpander And the 4 band fully parametric EQ is much more functional than our previous EQ on the analog console where only the hi-mids and lo-mids had sweepable frequencies Having this flexibility on each input as well as each auxiliary sub and mains is a tremendous benefit to live mixingIn addition the SL24 has eight 31

band EQrsquos (or 4 stereo pairs) that are assignable to the mains an aux output or subgroup output This is great for tuning your room for the mains and floor wedges for the stageI also like the 10 aux outputs These

can be run in 5 stereo pairs for in-ears which makes for a great option for that small touring band who needs a simple way to have the same monitor mix at each venue just plug into the house PA and go with your same in-ear mix from the night before Or you can send a mono aux send to a powered monitor wedge and use one of the built in 31 band EQrsquos All of the Fat Channel settings EQ

settings and Aux settings can be saved internally So different worship teams can have different lsquoscenesrsquo that can be recalled with the touch of a couple buttons The only downside here is that

PRODUCT REVIEW

the input gain is not programmable but more on that laterWhat a treat to have all of these

dynamic effects EQrsquos and FX all built in to the console Fewer items in your rack fewer cable runs fewer units drawing power cleaner simpler betterThe number 2 reason this unit was

an easy sell is the ability to multitrack record using the lsquoCapturersquo software provided by PreSonus when you purchase this console This rig works so well with a computer hooked up via firewire You can send the 24 channels you are mixing live straight to Capture and record it live Then go back after the service edit and mix the recording with PreSonusrsquo StudioOne software (included) What a great and simple tool Use it to record the whole band or just the message This will make multi-track recording your worship team easy Use these recordings to go back and critique performance or start working on your next CD project to share with your congregationAnd now one of the slickest features

of this console You can now control it remotely with an iPad Why is this cool It will allow you to mix from anywhere in the venue it will allow you to go up on the stage and change the monitor mix as you listen to it this is extremely cool In fact you can run up to 10 iPads at the same time giving the option for your worship leader drummer or whomever to change their own monitor mix if they so desire So how does this work PreSonus includes software with every console called Virtual StudioLive This enables you to hook up a computer directly to the console via FireWire (the same way yoursquod connect to record) This enables you to control the console through the computerhellip so when you change a setting on the computer it changes on the mixer and vice versa Then to make it work remotely you simply set up a wireless network

Walking through suffering and trials has a way of stripping away anything that is not real in your life and depending on our response that vessel can come out of the fire with a faith like pure gold Such is the case with Laura Story and her husband Martin Her new project ldquoBlessingsrdquo is a true and precious sacrifice of praise Read on to see what I mean

what it takes to know Yoursquore nearrdquo

LS I wrote that while driving down the interstate one night my husband was with me but he was asleep Our lives are so busy but every now and then you have just a moment of silence and you begin to introspect and think back over the past months and year This was one of those moments If you had asked me right after Martin had his brain injury what I thought life would look like five years out I wouldrsquove never expected this Irsquom sitting there thinking about all of it and realize that I really am in a place where I have more questions than answers So the chorus with all those ldquowhat ifrsquosrdquo are real The lines of the chorus were coming to me as I was looking out at the road that was starting to curve and I thought ldquoGod your Word says itrsquos okay to pray for blessings but instead You pour out all this other stuff and Irsquom more confused than everrdquo

But then it came to mealthough itrsquos been hard the intimacy with the Lord over the last four years is like nothing else that Irsquove ever experienced And the sweetness in our marriage that has come from Martin and I having to rely on each other and help each other through this is like nothing wersquod ever experienced Now Irsquom looking at all these things in my life that Irsquove labeled ldquotrialsrdquo experiences that Irsquove labeled as ldquobadrdquo And itrsquos like the Lord broke it down a little for me and said ldquoBut look at it closely Laura look at how Irsquove blessed you in the midst of thatrdquo Itrsquos the Lord stripping away everythingmdashsometimes He needs to do that in our lives He is the only sure foundation that we have Before [any of this happened]

Aimee Herd Laura the last I spoke with you was back in 2008 Your husband was just recovering from brain surgery and yoursquod been through a really rough time How is he and how are things going now

Laura Story He is doing so well We have been amazed at the amount of healing that has taken place in his body Wersquore so grateful to the Lord and all the doctors Hersquos at a place where all his CT scans and MRIs look good But hersquos still left with a couple of different disabilities that are still hard

I think the last time we talked I naively thought ldquoIrsquoll just take a year and then things will be okayrdquo That has not been the case at all We are learning to adapt to a new normallife with a disability Itrsquos a whole new complexity of life but you know God has given us grace for every step of it

AH Just within that context I was previewing your new album Blessings (Releasing on April 11) and the title song from it thatrsquos a song that I think a lot of people who are experiencing similar challenges will really identify with The lyrics are really profound ldquoWhat if your blessings come through raindrops what if your healing comes through tears what if a thousand s l e e p l e s s nights are

I would have said that I believed that but now I can say wersquove experienced itmdashwersquove been stripped down to the point where He was all that we have left I can tell you as a fact that He is reliable God is real and He really does walk with you every step of that journey Where before those promises were theories now they have been tested and are fact in my life

Our main story when we go travel anywhere is how we have learned to praise God in the midst of the storm Thatrsquos what we talk about and share in song and story and through that we have had more opportunities to share the Gospel than ever Wersquove had more opportunities to minister to hurting people Irsquove prayed with hundreds of people all over the globe Itrsquos not because God gave me a spotlight but itrsquos because He gave me a platform of a life of suffering that people will listenmdashbecause of what wersquove walked through We as Believers talk about our need for a Savior but we donrsquot want to come across as being ldquoneedyrdquo but God took care of that For at least a year and a half Martin and I were the neediest people I knew and we relied on the Body of Christ for everything It started out as embarrassing but it became such a good thing because I needed to see my need for the church and even more my need for God

AH Until we come to that place where we see our need for Him we havenrsquot really reached that true and vital relationship

LS And during those times when we were in crisis mode Martin was in the hospital and I wasnrsquot able to get to


church read the Word or even pray regularly it made me realize that God is the sustainer of my faith It says He is the Author and Perfecter of our faith and Irsquove felt that more than ever and He is more real than ever I certainly would never have asked for any of this but I honestly think we wouldnrsquot trade it for anything the things wersquove learned are priceless

AH Does Martin go out on the road with you

LS He does yeah His disabilities hersquos been left with are a vision deficit and a [short term] memory deficit Hersquos just now gotten fitted with special glasses that will help with his vision Memory-wise itrsquos a slow process So he hasnrsquot been able to work or drive We spend an enormous amount of time together itrsquos been a huge adjustment for both of us but man itrsquos been sweet

God has allowed this to happen to Martin Irsquove had a front row seat and Irsquove written songs about it And during concerts Martin is always in the crowd worshipping right along with

Blessings through the Raindrops with Laura Story continued

everyone else He is a living current-day Job His memory loss affects his everyday life but what he always does remember is Godrsquos goodness Not that he doesnrsquot have rough days but he somehow keeps that in front of his face that God has a plan for his life and He is a trustworthy God And that whatever Hersquos allowed in his life Godrsquos promise is that Hersquos going to use it for good

AH Laura talk about ldquoThe Prodigal Songrdquo from your new album

LS Itrsquos such a gorgeous story Itrsquos not just a son who runs off and acts just like we do (laughs) but itrsquos really more about a God with an relentless love I love the part in the story where it says when the son was still a long way off the father saw him You know the father must have been watching and waiting [for his return] I know so many people from high school who for one reason or another have decided to live life on their own [without God] for a time I really want them to know that God truly waits and watches for their return I want lost people to hear

a story thatrsquos not of a God who is a policeman in the sky but a God whomdashif they choose to turn towards Himmdashtheyrsquore going to find has loving arms ready to embrace them as they are

AH I donrsquot have any disc info so tell me did you write all the songs on ldquoBlessingsrdquo or also co-write some

LS I wrote about half of them and did the other half with other people I have a network of [songwriting] friends I wrote one of them with Mac Powell (Third Day) and Brenton Brown So I got to write with a lot of fun people who are songwriting heroes to me It was neat to get to do that

AH Last year you toured with Aaron Shust and Downhere with your new album coming out do you have plans for a new tour this spring

LS Actually no wersquove had so many people asking us to do worship conferences and womenrsquos events that we havenrsquot had time to tour I guess thatrsquos a good problem to have Maybe in the fall But we get asked to come lead worship and teach and share about what it means to be a worship leader and still be walking through hard things in life

AH So how DO you do that Laura As a worship leader you have to go out on stage and lead people into the presence of God and yet in your life yoursquore walking through a very hard place

LS Itrsquos a great question Anything you go through any change adrenaline can get you through the first part of it I think Then when the dust settles you realize ldquoWow this really isnrsquot getting any betterrdquo When I got to that place I was a little frustrated with God about it I thought I either need to get a new job or I have to figure out how to worship God even in the midst of this I went to the Scriptures and they came alive

I began seeing that scene [of worship amid suffering] everywhere

AH Oh yeah especially in Psalms

LS Yeah where King David is saying ldquoI WILL bless the Lord at all timesrdquo not ldquoI feel like blessing the Lord at all timesrdquo And ldquoeven though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil for You are with me Your rod and Your staff they comfort merdquo From Genesis 22 where Abraham goes to sacrifice his son Isaac itrsquos the very first time the word ldquoworshiprdquo is used in the Bible Abraham tells his servant ldquoI and the lad are going to the mountain to worship and then returnrdquo Hersquos going up to sacrifice Isaac and he uses the word ldquoworshiprdquo and Irsquom likethat doesnrsquot make any sense Except the more you dig into it you see it was his act of obedience to God and that was his worship You see it in Romans 12 where it says to ldquooffer your bodies as a living sacrifice holy acceptable to God which is your reasonable act of worshiprdquo I started finding out that worship had so much less to do with a fuzzy happy feeling and so much more to do with a surrendered life At the end of the day no matter what yoursquore walking through Jesus is worthy of our worship

One thing I truly had to decide was

whether or not I was going to judge God based on my assessment of my situation or whether I was going to assess my situation based on what Irsquove always held to be true of God As I thought about which one is going to rule in my heart my situation or my God I looked back and saw which one was really reliable You realize that circumstances are always changing but God has always proved to be faithful Thatrsquos how Irsquom learning to worship in the midst of difficulty

AH Thatrsquos really good itrsquos all a matter of perspectivemdashGodrsquos or ours I love what yoursquove just sharedwhen is the book coming out

LS (Laughing) Itrsquos so funny because Irsquove thought about it But Irsquom too busy with this CD I think I probably will write a book though

AH This is a little off-subject but I know you started out playing string bass way back even before you were in Silers Bald do you still get to play that once in a while

LS I do Not this past fall but the one before I was on the Third Day tour Mac Powell has a little side group called Glory Revealed and I played with them It was really fun because I hadnrsquot gotten to do anything with

upright bass in a while but every now and then I get to

AH What is the primary instrument you gravitate toward for writing then

LS I go back and forth between piano and guitar But usually I donrsquot write with anything I just get a pen and paper and try to visualize it in my mind I donrsquot want to limit my mind by what my fingers can play if that makes any sense Irsquod rather have it wide open and establish it and then go back and try to play it

AH Thatrsquos an interesting way to do it Laura in closing Irsquod like you to tell me two things the word that God gave you that kept you through the darkest times and the promise Hersquos given you for the future

LS Irsquod say the word He gave me was this one Scripture when Martin was in the hospital from Psalm 2713 that says ldquoI would have despaired if I had not believed that I would see the goodness of the Lordrdquo Thatrsquos the verse thatrsquos held me up through the midst of it like Irsquod begin to despair and God would remind me ldquoOh no remember Yoursquore not going to despairrdquo And Irsquod say the promise for the future ismdashthat God does promise a future In Jeremiah 2911 God says ldquoFor I know the plans I have for youmdashplans of prosperity not calamity And then what I label as calamity I have to stop and say ldquono thatrsquos a wrong assessment of thatrdquo

One of the songs I wrote on the new CD is called Faithful God The chorus is just ldquoFaithful God every promise kept every need Yoursquove met Faithful God Thatrsquos just it Like the old hymnwriter said ldquostrength for today and bright hope for tomorrowrdquomdashthatrsquos what we ask Him for

Parachute Band out of New Zealand has been at it for a long time (since 1995) and even though the original band members have since handed it

over to the next generation of members its distinctiveness lives onNo doubt Parachute Bandrsquos style

would be most at home in a youth group environment they capitalize on super high energy and a digitized sound The lower marks I put in regards to being easily adaptable by a band of average skill isnrsquot a strike against them Theyrsquore expressing themselves musically in a way that not everyone could pull off but I donrsquot get the sense thatrsquos what theyrsquore trying to do And with a creative arranger type you can figure out a way to reinvent these songs even with minimal instrumentationIf you love Martin Smith yoursquoll be

thrilled to hear him appear on ldquoItrsquos Yourdquo a great fit for his distinct voice And speaking of voices the primary singerrsquos voice is strong Hersquos at home at the high-push faster stuff as well as the quiet lingering type of songs Many of the songs have a pop sound

and feel but there are many anthems on this cd that transcend that style Buy the cd for your youth or your own kids but listen closely because yoursquore going to start to love a lot of these tracks They did a great job putting together songs that are unique and true to their own style while giving us plenty to worship the Lord by

4 Hands and Feet5 We Remember6 Ocean Floor7 Spirit Speaks8 Jealous God9 Good Life10 Just To Be Here

This album primarily fronted by Audio Adrenaline singer Mark Suart and bassist Will McGinnis is an unusual effort in the way that their intent is to have musicians and vocalists journey in and out of this collective on an ongoing basis Keeping the lineup in flux will maintain a steady stream of new creativity as well as personal testimonies and perspectivesThis first effort will likely leave

you looking forward to subsequent releases The music and lyrics are well-matched and thoughtful Though the songs come from a personal place theyrsquoll be easily adapted by anyone wanting to use these songs in their own place of worship Some are geared more congregationally than others but most likely you could find a place somewhere in your church service for all of the songs on the albumOne of the things that is a running

theme throughout the songs is a sense of honor ldquoWe Rememberrdquo in particular is recalls specific reasons to remember God ndash things to remember from the past that continue to give us hope for the future Speaking of remembering the new songs on the album are mixed in with songs from previous releases like ldquoHands and Feetrdquo and ldquoOcean Floorrdquo Theyrsquore different enough to keep them interesting but definitely recognizable This is a well-written album mixed

well and mastered well I look forward to seeing what else this ever-changing group has to say in the future

Itrsquos always my habit to put a new cd in my car computer etc to listen to it repeatedly and get a good ldquoreadrdquo on it Not all of the cdrsquos I review get imported into my iTunes list but this one definitely did Itrsquos funny because it makes me a little nutty when my husband gets a cd and plays it over and over But I found myself doing that with this cd ndash you want to hear it repeatedly to mine out his careful lyricsThe cd starts off with a great driving

song ldquoOur God Is Mercyrdquo and keeps the vitality going throughout The majority of the songs are a medium tempo but he makes sure to create breathing room so that it doesnrsquot become one-note He also brings in other vocalists to round everything outItrsquos good to have a steady stream of

songs from Brenton who keeps his musical influences broad His voice is distinct but he seems to come from a consistently creative place in how he puts a cd project together Irsquove heard him live a couple of times and have share some of the same acquaintances and his reputation is very sound He brings a consistency and maturity to the table that comes through in his songwriting His friendliness and friendships with fellow songwriters is to his credit and shows in his ability to keep things freshThe cd release is in March so grab

yours yoursquoll find plenty to work with if yoursquore a worship leader and yoursquoll enjoy being led into worship as a listener

about his approach is that he has a restrained intensity he doesnrsquot overdo the energy thing You can sense the earnestness of what hersquos saying and the instruments behind him without being overwhelmed or

distracted by it If yoursquore dialed in and paying attention to the lyrics yoursquoll get a lot out of them but this cd is just as enjoyable to put in your car on a long road trip and have in the background He understands how to imbed a ldquohookrdquo in songwriting but doesnrsquot forsake the message for a good hookSome of the songs lean more toward

story telling which isnrsquot a bad thing it helps you know him as an artist a little better Yoursquoll have so much to work with out of this album to use in your own setting And even though many of these tracks will likely appear on Christian radio I canrsquot help but like them Some of them are contemporary and ldquopoppyrdquo but not so much that they lack personality and poignancy It was really hard to narrow it down to just two favorites on this cd Thank you Brandon ndash keep albums like this coming

If yoursquore as big a fan of Gabriel Wilsonrsquos music as I am yoursquoll want to go grab this cd When I heard that he had become the worship leader

at Lakeside Church I couldnrsquot wait to get my hands on this release It was curious to see how he was able to transform such a distinct former sound into a setting like a large church Well he did it You can hear the strains of his musical preferences but they donrsquot overwhelm the setting he blended the two realities very wellSeveral years ago at one of the

earlier Christian Musician Summits Gabriel jumped in on a QampA time in a workshop Even though his band at the time was very edgy and had amazing stage presence he had a great perspective and priority on worship He didnrsquot forsake the focus on honoring


and revering God for the sake of the ldquoshowrdquo and itrsquos great to see that still alive in his worship todayMany of the songs are either co-written

with other writers (like Paul Baloche) or borrowed from such greats as Brian Doerkson David Ruis and John Mark McMillan to name a few Fellow vocalists like Elisa Wilson help to round out a great worship album which will be a blessing to add to your worship library Yoursquoll be singing along before you know it

If you havenrsquot heard of Daniel Bashta make sure yoursquore wearing a seatbelt when you sit down to listen for the first time Daniel is a true artist at bringing out the rawness and soverignty of God The first song I ever heard of his was a few years ago and even though it was very slow and quiet there were fires raging underneathSong titles like ldquoUnlock My Roarrdquo and

ldquoLike A Lionrdquo are great descriptions of Danielrsquos intensity His a-typical voice drives home a-typical highly creative lyrics He incorporates unusual techniques in his music sometimes including spoken word Everything he does has a perfect layer of grittiness to itThis music is anything but restrained

however neither is it hype Therersquos a difference and you will feel it You can also perceive Danielrsquos global musical viewpoint which was confirmed when I read his story online His reach in musical expression is not constrained by a purely American experience even

though he was born and now lives in America He has traveled and lived abroad in multiple countries and it shows This is not a quick-listen cd itrsquos a meal

not a snack So listen to it all at once when you can but revisit it often to get the full wealth of this album Epic effort Daniel and band Thank you for the challenge and inspiration

In this article we are going to hit a bunch of tried-and-true tricks you can use on the Yamaha M7CL Why am I only highlighting the M7CL Good question But it begs a very simple answer It is by far the single most popular digital soundboard that churches use Itrsquos also a very respected board among touring groups All that being said most of these tricks can work on other digital consoles and 98 of them apply to the M7CLrsquos baby brother the Yamaha LS9 as wellPresets The beauty of digital consoles

in general is the ability to make presets Yamaha calls them Libraries I make a library entry for every one of my inputs as well as every one of my players For instance I not only have an acoustic guitar EQ preset I have multiple ones labeled ACOU-Dan-Taylor410 ACOU-Dan-Gibson ACOU-Steve-Washburn etc Then no matter what player is on the team or which one of his guitars shows up with him on Sunday I have a good starting point for their EQ I also do the same for CompressorsQuick second EQ Compressor

setup Irsquove had a few times where Irsquove needed a very specific EQ or compression change on a certain instrument Using ldquoChannel Copyrdquo I duplicate the channel to the next adjacent channel Then I assign the Head Amp to the same inputs as the original channel For instance letrsquos say I wanted two different acoustic guitar sounds during a song I already have the acoustic guitar set up on channel 14 I ldquoChannel Copyrdquo channel 14 to channel 15 then I SEL channel 15 and assign the preamp from it to preamp 14 Get the picture I have Preamp 14 on both Faders 14 and 15 Then I make the radical changes to channel 15 and I cross fade from 14 to 15 during that portion of the songReset EQ Gain I use this feature a ton

If you cut or boost something on a channel EQ just push the Q and Gain encoders at the same time on that band and it will reset to zero Recall Safe I always ldquoRecall Saferdquo all

the parameters on my pastor announcement mic iPod video and CD channels That way if someone is talking on the Announcement mic or I am playing music before the service from my iPod etc I can recall a scene without affecting what is going onRecall a Scene while someone is

talking What if you do not have the mic in ldquorecall saferdquo and you need to switch scenes I used to wait for the person to take a breath or for the audience to clap and would then hit recall This always made me

very nervous There was no way to be sure what the new scene sounded like or if there would be a volume change Worse yet what if the fader in question was muted in the next scene Try this simple trick Hold down SEL on the channel you want to temporarily ldquosaferdquo while you recall the scene That channel is temporarily ldquosafedrdquo Which means the channel you are holding SEL on will not change to the parameters in the new scene when you hit Recall After they stop talking and another person in the new scene you recalled starts talking you can safely hit recall again and that fader will be updatedPre-show Music I use this trick on

pre-show music coming from my iPod Feed the Announcer or MC mic to the side-chain input on the iPod channelrsquos compressor Then if someone needs to make an announcement and I am not at the console all they need to do is talk on that mic and the iPod automatically turns down The announcement mic needs to be in the same group of 8 channels that the iPod is for the side-chain to work Telephone Call Interface It is

annoying to have the person on the phone try to continue talking while the local mic is talking How about this trick Feed the local mic into the side-chain on the phone interface compressor Set the compression pretty hard and when the local mic talks the phone audio compresses or gets ldquoduckedrdquo behind the live micUser Define Keys or UDKs The

best part of the M7CL is the 16 UDKs I use them for all kinds of things depending on the type of show Irsquom doing Bookmark ndash This is arguably the

most useful and customizable button on the board I use this to bookmark my house Graphic EQ Vocal reverb and Vocal delay effects pages That way I can get to them quickly First assign the BOOKMARK function to one or more UDKs Then view the desired page Now hold UDK button for 2 seconds until it lights up Every time you click that button you will return to the page you bookmarkedMute ALL ndash make a mute group and

assign ALL channels to it Then put it on a UDK That way if you need to mute the whole console because ldquosomethingrdquo is feeding back you can just hit that one button Just donrsquot put it right next to the button for the next tip Tap Tempo - You can assign a UDK to

an effects processor I use the Tap Tempo

to set the delay time on my Vocal delay effect and target it to the effect processor with a delay effect loaded Then in the effect (mono delay for instance) you should see a ldquosyncrdquo parameter Turn this on Now set the note value to a whole note When you tap a tempo along with the beat of the song (one tap per measure) using this UDK it should affect the delay time of said effect processor to be in sync with the music Set to Nominal ndash If you hold down

this UDK and select a fader or an encoder it will reset itself to unityMute FX Sends ndash Make a mute

group but instead of muting the FX return faders put the mute group on the aux sends that are feeding the inputs to your effects processors This way when you mute the effects the effect decays naturally and doesnrsquot sound like you muted itSends on Fader ndash Use this one to

select the aux send you have assigned to your worship leaders ear monitors or wedge mix When you hit this button the console faders ldquofliprdquo to show you what you are sending down that aux This is very handy when using the M7 as a monitor board or for the monitor sends you are mixing from FOH Assign each mix to a button and flip between monitor mixes very quickly Click again to return to your FOH mixOne last trick just in case yoursquove

been hiding under a rock and missed it Yamaha released an iPad app for controlling the M7CL Take a trip out to the Yamaha website andor iTunes and get the Stage Mix app for your iPad It gives you a very slick interface to control the console remotelyAnd on a related notehellip if yoursquove been

struggling with how to justify an iPad purchasehellip my friend Chris twitter(ed) the following ldquoThank you Yamaha Stage Mix for allowing me to sit with my wife in church againrdquo This might be the first ever piece of technology she really does want you to getNext month wersquoll cover a couple of

analog console tricks and pretty cool one for you digital console users on how to warm up your digital sound

MINISTRY + ARTISTRY = PROFITABILITY CREATING YOUR MAPtrade

Last time we talked through an overview of the Four Prsquos Product Price Place and Promotion In the next several columns wersquore going to dive more deeply into Promotion covering Public Relations Advertising and in this column the basics about Social Media Social Media is one of the newest and

most valuable tools in your Promotion toolbox Irsquove been involved from very early on starting in 2007 when I brought the largest Christian social network into my media group family at FrontGate Media After a year of watching clients not understand how to use social networks we started to provide Social Media services Social Media started with an

explosion of online community sites including todayrsquos leaders the Facebook community Twitterrsquos micro-blog service and YouTubersquos video sharing site There were many many different Social Media sites bringing together people who had similar interests or connection points Obviously some caught on more than others MySpace grew to become the early leader especially for music artists and now has fallen far from its high point of glory becoming almost irrelevant WHERE DO I START

Today most of us should focus mainly on Facebook and Twitter for communication and YouTube for video content You also should consider Christian specific sites including the online community ShoutLifecom and for videos GodTubecom For more traditional business purposes Irsquom also a big believer in LinkedIn There are many more Social Media or related sites you can get involved with including MySpace iLike Tumblr Friendfeed Bliptv Vimeohellip the list goes on but for most of us we will likely only have

enough time to do a decent job with Facebook Twitter and YouTube Once you have some experience with those

then certainly dive into ShoutLife and GodTube Start with the leaders the audience there is enormous and your audience probably already is active there FAN DEVELOPMENTOur Social Media strategy at

FrontGate is based on one idea Fan Development If you approach all of your Social Media activities with the idea of Fan Development then you will succeed Social Media is all about developing a relationship and in your case as a Worship Leader itrsquos a relationship with fans of your music If you donrsquot like the term ldquofanrdquo then letrsquos say with the people who have been touched by your music Your ldquofriendsrdquo or ldquofansrdquo want to be more involved with you Social Media allows you to reach a lot of friends instantly and consistently This is something wersquove never been able to do before You can now have DIRECT contact with your fans anytime from any place WHAT MAKES A GOOD POSTSocial Media can be a total waste of

time If yoursquove spent any time on Twitter or Facebook yoursquove seen someone stream a bunch of wasted posts If all your posts are about laundry eating and television you probably arenrsquot developing fans You posts should help your friends to connect just a little more to you A GOOD post gives your friend or fan something of value in connecting with you A GREAT post gives them a direct interaction with you For example I think you can see the difference in value between the following posts ldquoIrsquom working on the album cover for my new album todayrdquo vs ldquoI picked the album cover for new album today See it at httpwwwjadonlavikcomrdquo vs ldquoHelp I need to pick my new album cover today what do you think Vote at httpwwwjadonlavikcomrdquo Social Media is not just a short or

text based form of advertising Do not just push out ads for yourself Share things about you just like you would in any relationship Itrsquos great to help your fan know all about your music Itrsquos also going to connect you more deeply with different fans when they find out that you love ldquoItrsquos A Wonderful Liferdquo or that you are a big Chipotle fan just like they are

could sing lead and who should be on rotation Those people who could sing I would let them lead a church service What Never been done before They all thought that was my job No it was my job to lead and a good leader raises others up to lead as well Second I started looking at the younger up and coming players and singers from college and high school I knew that the college musicians were not going to stay in college all their lives (well most) So I realized there was a pool of talent waiting to be developed from that group There were also a couple of prodigies in the high school group who couldnrsquot wait to be on the main worship team What I did was invited them to

rehearsal and told them to bring their instrument and play with us One of my guitar players for example was assigned to mentor an up and coming player This arrangement worked out well until every week the young guitar player kept asking ldquoAm I going to play this weekrdquo One thing I learned quickly is to communicate every detail with your pastor Why Because he usually knows things about people that I donrsquot I did put in a young player once without consulting the pastor I didnrsquot know the young guy was seeing a staff counselor for a serious offense and the pastor later told me he felt uncomfortable seeing him on the worship team in front of the church After talking with the young man he

understood continued to show up for practice and eventually was put into rotation This was also a good test I wanted to see how committed he was and if he would be willing to submit to authoritySingers are dealt with the same way

Who has lead singer potential Are they willing to be faithful to show up for rehearsal Are they learning the melodies and the lyrics I would start by putting them into rotation then eventually making them regular singers If your church has room for only four lead singers each week and you have 12 strong singers I recommend putting them all on regular rotation There is nothing in a rulebook that says you have to have only four people Maybe have five or six I scoff at the person who says ldquoMichael four singers is the optimum vocal presence to fill the four parts and besides thatrsquos the way wersquove always done itrdquo The final note is regarding what you are

missing If you only have one mediocre drummer then ask your worship team do you know of anyone else who can play drums Usually if they are true musicians themselves they know several people What if that person doesnrsquot go to your church It doesnrsquot hurt to ask especially if they are not serving anywhere What if that person isnrsquot a believer Thatrsquos a tougher one because I came to know The Lord by being on a worship team You have to have discernment and trust that Godrsquos Spirit will guide your decision making in that area I know one thing for sure whenever I encountered someone on one of the many church worship teams Irsquove assisted and I find out they are not a believer I just love on them the same as I would anyone else Would I be judgmental towards that person Not in the least I do know if it were my worship team member that person wouldnrsquot be leading the Bible Study Today there are many opportunities

to develop talent Invite those people whom you are considering to develop to your outside events like barbeques picnics and outreaches Lead by example and love every member of your team as Christ loves the church

Developing Talent

AUTHENTIC WORSHIP

When is it time for new players and singers to become part of a worship team One of the most difficult tasks for a worship leader is making tough decisions that involve people I remember when I was asked to take over a worship team at a church and that first meeting was uncomfortableFor one several worship team

members didnrsquot know that the worship leader who had been there for years had abruptly resigned When they showed up for rehearsal they discovered moi Irsquom surprised none of them had PTWLS (post traumatic worship leader syndrome) because I came in with a whole new operating system and new songs but one of the ways I won them over was how I developed new talentFirst I had to understand who had

giftings in what areas I quickly discovered who were my soloists who were my prayer people who


DIGITALWhen the guitar community went

digital I foolishly sold my tube Echoplex and Roland Space Echo and jumped on the digital bandwagon The long delay times presets and MIDI compliance remain incredibly useful especially with a switching system like I use when I tour In many ways itrsquos a Church dream rig - the one you wish you could bring to Church but know you canrsquot Itrsquos big itrsquos loud itrsquos moves the ground below - and people would justly scream bloody murder if I were to show up with it The numerous long cable runs between the controller amp and rack require a lot more set up than most people have time for on a Sunday morning - especially when something inevitably goes wrong

ldquoPURErdquo RIGSSo where does that leave us I believe

that finding the right rig for Church is really a matter of finding the right rig for your Church I remember being at a conference and hearing someone share about a guy who had to have his Marshall stack to get his tone at Church Herein lies the problem Although Church isnrsquot a gig it sure can look a lot like one and thatrsquos not always a bad thing Itrsquos not appropriate to blast an audience at a casual so why on earth would anybody want to do that at Church If you donrsquot have a lot of time and space and perhaps even if you do a modeling setup direct into the PA is a great way to go Running a more analog style rig (nothing wrong with some digital stomps in my book) into something like an AC30 usually requires a bit of volume to get into ldquothe zonerdquo Working with your Worship Pastor to determine if this is right for your Church would be my best advice Itrsquos gonna sound great yes but if the room is too small or you canrsquot isolate your amp your great tone will be more of a hindrance than a blessing Too much of a good thing is still too much

COMPROMISEIf yoursquore looking for something in

between Irsquove had great luck running modeling gear into the Tech 21 Power Engine 60 or a low wattage tube amp You get all that juicy technology interacting with a real honest to goodness guitar speaker Put an SM57 in front of that and you just might be ldquothererdquo

CONCLUSIONA great rig is one that works - for the

venue I know that when my tone is not happening itrsquos really hard to feel great about what Irsquom doing Although I try not to make it about me when itrsquos not sounding good it can be really hard to stay focused on God Itrsquos a fine line between having the right sound so I can do my part to support the team verses me having ldquomy momentrdquo Irsquove done both and I can tell you that supporting the team is the tried and true method to stepping into an anointing for the whole team There are lots of ldquoguitar player momentsrdquo in the secular and Church should be about serving each other not ourselves

Sound Advice

GUITAR GRAB BAG

As much as we love gear it always seems that wersquore just not quite ldquothererdquo With so many options it can be more of a frustration than a joy finding a set-up that allows us to focus more on God than on our gear This time around Irsquom going to take a stab at addressing some of the strengths and weaknesses of the various types of rigs out there and hopefully serve you in finding the right rig for your Church in the process

MODELINGI live with hundreds of pieces of gear

Routing and switching the dozens of rigs I could configure is for some a recipe for frustration At the very least when a big rig goes down on the gig it can be a real nightmare to fix What appeals to me most about modeling gear is how easy it is to program setup and have a great time using on the platform I recently did a series of videos paring various pieces of modeling technology with the Tech 21 Power Engine 60 Looking back Irsquom reminded how incredibly fun the modeling experience has become It does take some time to develop a basic strategy as you go from unit to unit but itrsquos not rocket science In particular the ability to program tempos for delays as well as an entire set of presets into a single piece of gear is pretty magnetic

ANALOGHaving said all that analog gear is

filled with beautiful little components that love to react to your fingers and each other in a wonderful way Modeling technology sounds impressive because itrsquos modeling impressive sounds There is something wonderfully expressive about hearing how analog gear interacts as you turn things on and off - itrsquos really just incredibly beautiful When you chain a Gretsch hollowbody Ibanez Tube Screamer Roland RE-150 Space Echo and a Vox AC30 together itrsquos almost a religious experience When rock was born there were very few elements to work with and learning to master sound had more to do with the hands than the gear To my ears analog tones really allow you to hear the fingers more than the gear The down side is that in addition to being finicky it often needs to be turned up much louder than a Sunday morning can afford

Our culture is fixated and enamored with appearances Even if we think we donrsquot care much about what others think we kind of really do right Just watch commercials itrsquos not by accident that there are images associated with most every product We are visual people and what we see can influence even our walletsThough we donrsquot often hear sermons

on how we look on stage especially in a positive light the subject has relevance You can be sure that yoursquoll get an email as soon as you do something that rubs someone the wrong way on Sunday Especially the right someone whether you actually did anything wrong or not There are always those who are prone to complain and wersquod go nuts trying to please them all We canrsquot Most would agree that worship is about the heart and lifestyle not your wardrobe or vibe But thatrsquos not what Irsquom referring to either Others notice our expressions and countenance and it matters Thatrsquos what I want to addressDavidrsquos appearance and expression

earned him praise scorn favor blessing and influence It was said of Joseph by people who counted that the Lord was with him and gave him success in everything he did Fruit is something you can see with your eyes You will know a tree by the fruit it bears the Word says Also from the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks ndash so what is inside does come out and is obvious to others In two cases recently both involving

drummers numerous people commented how they particularly noticed them and were affected just watching them play and worship Their smiles joy and passion ndash all made a difference Any number of players couldrsquove executed the music just as well but it wasnrsquot about that There was more to it than the playing There are some very impressive players and talents in the world but what usually confounds others is not the skill though that happens but the attitudes responses expressions personalities etc We know when someone is genuinely humble or not full of himself insecure and so on Wersquove all seen the most unlikely have greater impact than the most gifted over and over Wersquove also

seen some of the most beautiful and amazing talents be completely yielded to God and therefore used mightily A common denominator I think is like Joseph knowing where it comes from and whom credit belongs to That spills over into our countenance naturally making it hard to fake whatrsquos really underneath the surfacePs 403 says ldquoHe put a new song

in my mouth a hymn of praise to our God Many will see and fear the Lord and put their trust in himrdquo Irsquoll differentiate between judging

criticizing what we see on the worship platform from noticingsensing I for one really do hate how critical we Christians are of our own like we have some right to be But we are human and still do it The presence of God within is evident without ndash even in worship as we play sing and lead There are times as bands teams and leaders that we force or impose our preferences It can be hard to separate ourselves from our style and our vibe of choice If wersquore free emotional passionate and full of zeal ndash thatrsquos awesome (we need more of it) If in that freedom we demonstrate total disregard or lack of care for those we are not only worshipping alongside but leading then wersquore being selfish An example would be one leader

can lead a song and another the same song with completely different outcomes and experiences One can evoke elation and the other agitation simply because of the delivery However I donrsquot believe it is a worship leaderrsquos role to manipulate a particular response or outcome nor do I believe that it is about the leader or song ultimately the manner in which we lead and the condition of our hearts are obvious on our facesMy encouragement is not that we

get in front of a mirror and practice facial expressions or favorite holy moves (Although if you decide to do that please record and post it on YouTube for the rest of us to enjoy) Itrsquos that we take notice of our own inner condition and what it conveys to others during worship without our possibly even knowing it Do they see and fear the Lord and move to put their trust in him Does His presence and

countenance emanate and reflect His Joy in spite of trouble pain or circumstances Joseph obviously had something great going on inside Prosperity and favor didnrsquot mean all was well he was a slave hated by his brothers inside a dungeon yet the powers that be always recognized his God was with him Thatrsquos an example worth following hard but worth it to develop his kind of keeping power and resolve to trust in God not his own emotion and feelingDavid also demonstrates that whether

yoursquore ticked off sad angry or happy joyful excited ndashitrsquos OK We come as we are We donrsquot ever fool God and Hersquos more than gracious enough to deal with us as good Father does Letrsquos do be real and honest but also mindful that how we appear and what others see can make a difference Sometimes it requires speaking truth and promise with the authority we have in Christ to our Spirit It may require overcoming and fighting against what is holding us back or hindering inside Women are much better at it than men but we men need to do it more often in order to step upPeople are not always watching

intentionally but expectantly even desperately Wanting and needing God to touch them and move them We canrsquot control those who want to see or judge a good worship performance And we shouldnrsquot feel itrsquos taboo to be aware of what we are portraying so as to align with the Holy Spirit We can only play lead and worship as unto God As we do we may well be used unaware as conduits of Jesusrsquo love and mercy Some food for thought ndashWorship is

THE BAND


with her brother adding timbales and congas to the mix Sheila lit up the crowd and invited everyone to come and stand before the stage while she pounded those timbales and worshiped the Lord She slammed through three songs Then for the grand finale of that set everyone joined in on the classic rock song by the Doobie Brothers Jesus is Just Alright It was quite the jamminrsquo song as Sheila jumped on the second drum kit and did a double drum solo with Gregg Bissonette Incredible To close the night was our favorite Christian

live band Newworldson They brought their infectious rhythms and soulful swagger and the crowd loved itIt was way cool To wrap up this special

time in the Lord our friend David Ellefson bassist and co-founder of Megadeth came out and gave an invitational talk and some encouraging words for all of us to seek the Lord in a fresh way in the New Year

The feedback from the crowd and the buzz afterwards in the room was a blessing By then I had all but lost my voice but Judy and I went around and greeted as many people as we could Yes the Lord had done it again Hearts were touched and the artists themselves were blessed for being there Sheila E stated that the fact we could even hold a concert like this two years in a row at NAMM was a

miraclehellipand we agree with her Thank you Jesus for bringing together such a wide mix of people that night in a ballroom at the Hilton Hotelhellipto stand as one -- right smack in the middle of the NAMM convention You are goodBruce amp Judy

with a terrific blend of praise songs and a worshipful attitude He is the coolest guy Then the Band of Brothers (with One Sister) or as we fondly call them the ldquoSuper Grouprdquo hit the stage The support band alone had Gregg Bissonette on drums John Pentildea on bass and Tom Brooks as music director on keys and B3 all of them returning from last yearrsquos bandStarting off this set was David Pack

co-founder guitarist and vocalist for the band Ambrosia and currently part of Saddlebackrsquos worship team Wow What a voice he still has after all these years Then one of the guys who had been there at the start of the Jesus music era stepped on stagehellipharmonica aficionado and vocalist Darrell Mansfield Oh my gosh he blew through two soulful numbers People Get Ready and Stand By Me and the audience loved it Then Sheila E joined the band along

Now this is by no means the end of the lens details - because there are definitely more that you will learn about as you go on But this should get you thinking I think you should go to the big lens manufacturerrsquos websites (Fujinon Cannon) and start looking at their lenses and do some research into more lens details These sites have pdf files photos facts and stats that you can learn a ton of info from - and itrsquos freeMore than likely you will not have any say about the lens you use when yoursquore starting out but as you start growing in your career you may need to know this stuff or at least want to know this stuff Donrsquot just sit by and ride on your calendar and engage because you happened to get booked - Be a pro and learn the details or at least act like one

If you have any questions email them to me atZoomITcamcraigjkellycomor stop by and visit atwwwcraigjkellycom

I adapted this article from a post I have at wwwcraigjkellycom where you can find this and many more tips for new and volunteer camera operatorsOK yoursquove heard me talk about focus for a while now so letrsquos move on to something else I mentioned previously that there are only four true skills that a cameraman is judged on - Focus Zoom Tilt and Pan Yes I know there are many many more skills that make up a good cameraman but those are soft-skills which we will get to eventually For now let me ramble on about ZOOM - you know thatrsquos the part where you make the picture bigger or smaller There are some places that think of it as pulling it toward you and pushing it away - but thatrsquos kinda from a small minority of the olrsquo school folks that used zoom cranks instead of these new fancy servo zooms all the kids are using nowRemember when I talked about learning a little something about zoom lenses This might be a good time to go look at that website you found again because itrsquos really hard not to talk about zooming and focus without having a pretty clear picture in your mind about lensesAnyway if you look at the side or front of lens somewhere it will have all these cryptic numbers and letters on them that look real impressive Usually it will say something like 10 x 1 17 x 1 or 70 x 1 or whatever All that means is that it will zoom to a tight shot that is 10 17 70 or whatever times amount of the widest shot that lens is capable of (measured in millimeters) It also has some other numbers that look like 4848 or maybe 1001700 0r 2535 This is telling you what the widest field of view the lens has times the zoom capability or maybe the widest to tightest field of view For instance - if a lens is 48 mm wide as itrsquos zoomed out all the way and it is a 25 x 1 zoom then it would be 48 mm at its widest and 120 mm wide at itrsquos tightest

between your MacPC and your iPad enabling you to use SL Remote to control the Virtual StudioLive on the computer which in turn controls the mixer So you need to hook up the mixing console to a computer in order to use this remote feature Speaking of which using the StudioLive with a computer is a great way to get the most out of the console anyway especially with volunteers behind the console on a Sunday morning Using the computer to access saved settings is much easier than using the LCD screen on the console itself You can put scenes that are saved in advance in the software and simply drag and drop the appropriate scene into the Virtual StudioLive on the computer Then all the volunteer has to do is worry about changing fader levels A great option for so many churchesThere are only a couple issues I can see

with this unit One is that the gain trims are not programmable as mentioned earlier This is because they are analog preamps (which sound great ndash Irsquod rather have a great sounding preamp over a programmable trim anyway) The only time this will be an issue is when you are swapping out inputs on a particular channel and itrsquos a different instrument or vocalist Not an impossible issue to overcome just something to be aware of as you are using saved settings These are all issues that should be taken care of during sound check anyway The other drawback is that the faders are not automated But if they were this console would be a LOT more expensive Thatrsquos the tradeoff However there is a lsquofaderrsquo locate LED that shows you where your faders were set when saved So you can locate the correct location for each fader when recalling a scene you just wonrsquot get the cool and convenient fader movementPreSonus hit the nail on the head with

this console A great entry point for many churches looking to utilize digital technology a great small console for the touring artist needing a great FOH and monitor mix at any venue plus so many extra bells and whistles that make this a no-brainer Yoursquoll find this unit at dealers for the low price of $3300 Find out more at wwwpresonuscom

In Ephesians 214 it says ldquoFor He Himself is our peace who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier the dividing wall of hostilityhelliprdquo Breaking down walls is what the First Nations worship band Broken Walls is all about In the following interview I spoke with band founder Jonathan Maracle about what they do and the indigenous instruments they use in giving glory to God and bringing the message of freedom and healing to those who are oppressed

my culture and the understanding that I have of it He told me that was fine but I had to mention sex drugs and booze in the music more because that was what the public wantedThough I wasnrsquot a Christian I had grown up with morality and what he told me appalled me I told him ldquonordquo He said ldquoWersquore paying the bill you either do it or we wonrsquot sign yourdquo I told him to keep his deal and walked outI was lost and brokenmdashit was a dream Irsquod been chasing for some 13 years Before I had left Canada my father (who was a missionary) had told me that if my back was ever up against the wall to call on Jesus I told him ldquoI donrsquot need Jesusrdquo (I was very arrogant) But (after leaving the record deal) I remember sitting in my apartment with my head in my hands and saying ldquoJesusrdquo Within 10 minutes the phone rang it was my dadmdashwho I hadnrsquot spoken with in 2 years I ended up going to see my parents in Florida where ultimately I came to know the LordFor a time I didnrsquot do any music but just sought God Then I was asked to sing at a Sacred Assembly in Ottawa Canada in my Native language They wanted me to sing Amazing Grace in Mohawk While I was there I heard John Sandford speak on the heart of bitterness that resides in the indigenous people of the world

because of the treatment theyrsquod received from the colonial countries and marauders and how it affected them down through the generations Thatrsquos when God started to unload on me this message of ldquobreaking wallsmdashbreaking down the walls of bitternessrdquo God gave me a song ldquoBroken Wallsrdquo and I had a vision to go to the Native people around the worldRecently wersquove taken on the heading for the band Broken Walls is contemporary Native American music for the well being of the people Wersquore not distancing ourselves from the Gospel but wersquore trying not to sound as ldquopreachyrdquo so we can more effectively reach the world Irsquom the kind of person who wants to go into the hedges and the byways to the people who really need to hear what we have to sayAH Who are the other members of Broken WallsJM Kris my bass player has been with me for almost 12 years He grew up surrounded by Native people he was familiar with their plight and it was natural for him to want to make a difference Hersquos university trained an incredible bass player and has his own solo album outThen Bill Pagaran Is my drummer Hersquos a Tlingit (pronounced Klinket) man from Alaska Bill played with the Anchorage Symphony Orchestra

Aimee Herd Jonathan give a little background about yourself and then how Broken Walls came to beJonathan Maracle Irsquove always wanted to be a singermdashall my life I was inspired by Elvis (laughs) and others along that trail just loving rock and roll and heavy rock So I chased my dream down to California for several years where I opened for major groups and that sort of thing But it all came down to a place where my music was my god and wasnrsquot fulfilling or giving me everything I neededI had gotten a record deal with a major label and started writing songs for an album A label rep told me it was good stuff but I wasnrsquot talking about sex enough and all those things that the American public wanted to hear I wasnrsquot a Christian by any stretch of the word but when he said that to me it just didnrsquot seem rightI told him I was Native American and wanted to write my music based on

Walls incorporates into the musicJM One of our main instrumentsmdashthat sets up in the middle at every Broken Walls concertmdashis a large buffalo hide pow wow drum This drum has traveled with me around the world itrsquos an instrument where maybe 3 up to 12 can gather around and play it and sing Therersquos something about the pow wow drum that brings a sense of unity because yoursquore all playing the same beat and singing the same songmdashtherersquos a tightness that happens a ldquoone voicerdquo

In Chronicles it talks about how the singers sang and trumpeters played and it sounded as one voice and then the presence of God came upon them so strong that they couldnrsquot stand to minister One evening we had about eight of us playing the drum and it was a total unity that spread throughout the whole place People said it was the most unified sound they had ever heard It made me think about that verse where when they came into unity Godrsquos glory descended upon them AH It is a really powerful sound Another instrument you use is a wind flutemdashI especially love themJM When it comes to the flutesmdashthere are so many different Native cultures across North America and all of them have slightly different aspects languages (there are over 300) among other things The flute to some cultures was an instrument of romance but theyrsquove also been a very spiritual instrument People have told me when I play the flute that they often experience some their best times of prayer and intercession because it helps to put them in that place The Iroquois people have used flutes for a long time there have been flutes unearthed in some of our villages

during excavations Fifteen years ago my brother began playing the flute When I heard him I thought ldquoWow Irsquove got to get to know this instrumentrdquo Irsquove been playing it ever since Itrsquos one of the typical instruments that are used in Native American music The flutes that I make and that we sell on our website are each individually hand-crafted and uniquely designed from wood from Tyendinaga Territory Ontario Canada which is the Mohawk Region

Another instrument we play is the water drum The water drum is a smaller drum that my people used originally for communication There would be a hollow log in each village and someone would play the water drum into the hollow log and it would transmit through the ground (much like the rails do when a train is coming) to the next village The water drum was also used by my people during social gatherings to honor the CreatorA lot of times our concerts will open up with the water drum and Irsquoll sing the Iroquoian welcoming song to welcome the people in which is all sung in Mohawk Itrsquos a drum that is played while standing up and the drummer dances ahead of other dancers behind himmdashitrsquos really beautifulAH Itrsquos called a ldquowater drumrdquo so Irsquom envisioning that it somehow incorporates waterhellipJM I put water in it and the water solidifies the sound Drums usually have a very dry hardened hide on them But for the water drum we use a soft hide thatrsquos been tanned and then we wet it which makes it a very solid sound Thatrsquos whymdashback in the daymdashit translated through the ground so well because of that high solid sound it would give offAnd then we also use different types of rattles in our music Theyrsquore mostly made of elm barkmdashamong my peoplemdashand turtles We would take turtles dry them and hollow them out and make them into rattles Some are also made of deerskin We use all these things when Broken Walls playsAH Have you found as yoursquove played in some of the more mainline churches that indigenous instruments are becoming more widely accepted and even used in worshipJM Oh definitely they are Back in 1985 or rsquo86 I was basically put out of a church because they said my music was ldquonot of Godrdquo They told me the drums were evil and the way I was presenting was not of God I said ldquoBut people are getting savedrdquo The big fight has always been that the Church and religion has looked at items as either evil or not and prescribing that either a guitar is Christian or is not Christian But before I was a Christian I played my guitar and I played for the devilmdashno questionmdashI didnrsquot play for the right reasons But when I became a Christian I did not burn my guitarmdashI played it and wrote songs about Jesus I sang songs about His love for me and people got saved I believe

the guitar had nothing to do with it I believe the instrument is subject to the heart of the musicianIn a lot of the villages and communities that I go to the name of Jesus is just scorned because people came in and tried to force the Native people to be like whatever religious affiliation they were from They held Jesus back from them until they converted their culture rather than allowing the gift of God and Jesus Christ to be used within the culture Itrsquos so important to realize that itrsquos not about converting the culture but itrsquos about allowing them to be who God created them to be and carrying the message of Jesus into thatAH Jonathan have you ever done any teaching on First Nations music and worship It seems like that would be a very interesting classJM Yes I was one of the speakers at Urbana I did some sessions there and Broken Walls was the main worship band there for Urbana 2003 What was really cool was I think they gave us 35 minutes to play for their main worship segment on a Friday night but after the 35 minutes were up they told us to ldquocarry onrdquo So after about an hour and 15 minutes we finally stoppedmdashthe crowd was just so into it It was a pretty awesome time and the whole concert is live on their website wwwurbanaorg AH Now this past year in 2010 you held the first ever ldquoSing to the Mountainsrdquo music festival Talk about that because I know yoursquore thinking about doing another oneJM Yes Irsquom debating right now on whether it should be this year or next It took a lot of work to put it together But the vision of Sing to the Mountains was not just a music festival but to educate people to educate the Church There is a rebuilding of self respect that comes when Native people come and hear the drum being played by people

who love Jesus Therersquos a stirring up that says ldquoHey I donrsquot have to be ashamed of who I was and who I am I can actually accept the fact that Irsquom Mohawk or Cherokee or Apache or whatever For so many years Native people [in order to come and worship with

the Church] have had to negate our heritage and say ldquoOkay Irsquom not Mohawk anymore I wonrsquot speak the languagehelliprdquo Once I was ministering South Dakota State Maximum Security Penitentiary and a tall Lakota man came up to me and said ldquoI always knew Jesus was the Way but I could never accept Him because they always told me I had to quite being Lakota in order to know JesusrdquoThat kind of message which has been purported for a couple hundred years now to Native American people has caused them to accept a mindset that ldquoGod doesnrsquot like us the way we were created but we need to be like them to have a good connection to Himrdquo But our message at Sing to the Mountains and with all of Broken Wallsrsquo music is ldquoGod loves us for who we are and for who He created us to be and He can work just as well within our culture as He can within anyone elsersquosrdquo AH Therersquos really an urgency isnrsquot there to get this truth of Godrsquos love to the Native people because denying their heritage and who they are has led to terrible consequences among themmdashalcoholism and suicide being rampantJM Wersquore leaving soon to go into Pikangikum an Ojibwe community that has one of the highest suicide rates in the world many times over The problem there is that the people donrsquot like who they are theyrsquove been taught that they must be like someone else How can they have an understanding that there is a God who loves them if they canrsquot recognize that He loves them for who they arerdquoAH So when someone finally understands that God truly does love them just as they are and they are set free how have they reacted what have you seen happen to themJM Itrsquos pretty amazing we have

hundreds and hundreds of testimonies of peoplersquos lives that are set free A lot of times the hardest people to reach are the Native people who became Christians under that distorted message that they have to give up who they were But when they finally meet Jesusrsquo love there is such a freedom because now they are free to love and respect their culture love their people and bring others to Jesus in that wayOnce we were playing at a university and this one girlmdashabout 18mdashhad recently become a Christian she had been a pow wow dancer dancing was her life before she had become a Christian That night we started playing on the drum and the non-native people were interested and it was a novelty But this one Native girl was standing in the front and she just started crying really sobbing I told the guys to keep going but I stopped went down to her and asked her what was wrong She looked at me and said ldquoIrsquove been a traditional dancer all my life and the first thing they told me when I got [to the Bible college] was that I could never dance again Now you come heremdashand the crying is because I am denying who I amrdquo So I went to the side where there was a stack of coverings for people and I brought one back to her I put it over her shoulders like a shawl that a Native woman would wear and I said to her ldquoYou dance Dance with your heart for God dance with your heart for Jesusrdquo She got up and started to dance across the front it was beautiful The cool part is the next day I got a call from another woman who was a full-blooded Native who had kept other Native Americans from attending our concert because for years shersquod been religiously taught that what we were doing was not of God She told me ldquoIrsquove been following you for a long time and wherever you go I would go behind you and tell people that everything you were saying was a lie and was wrong Me being Native many of them believed me I want to apologize to you for what Irsquove done it was absolutely wrong [now I see] what you are doing definitely brings healing and restoration to the peoplerdquo That night she came to our concert in full Native regalia and danced For more information on Broken Walls to buy their music or purchase Native instruments log onto

the stage to lsquoget the pastor closerrsquo to the people This can result in lights that neatly illuminate the top of heads and leave faces in shadow This noticeable problem is usually overcome by new lights ndash often at a very low angle on the back wall ndash to remove the shadows (and cause temporary blindness should people ever look up-LOL) Maybe some of these thoughts are

familiar to you I encourage you to stop and take a look at your room Is the design of your lighting system and worship environment a result of an intentional ongoing plan There is help available to answer your questions Effective functional design of the worship facility is easily one of the most cost-effective pieces of a great system The room design and the lighting of the intended activities should be a high priority for a design team Achieving a good building design will save money and frustration later On the other hand the lack of a master plan may set you up for years of regret I recommend finding a lighting and design company that you can build a long-term relationship with to create an atmosphere in your worship space worthy of the ONE we worship

LIGHTING

Whether you worship in a school gym or a purpose-built concert venue the art of creating a great worship space is the same We want the environment and the technology to work together to focus our attention on the intended event idea or communication The room its surfaces and the systems in it need to work together to achieve these goals It is a great idea to routinely take an objective look at our space and see if we are on track Here are a few thoughts related on this topic to help get the discussion startedFirst is it bright enough in the areas you

need light If the area surrounding your intended area of focus is competing for attention the perception is that the light on the subject is too dim It can be tiring to try to focus on dimly lit objects especially amidst other light sources In some ways it is like creating a great audio mix You can highlight the desired channel by turning it up or turning the others down So take a look at your application of lighting Is there a way to create some separation and achieve focus Does your lighting programming adjust all areas appropriately For instance during the message is the right left and upstage

dimmed Great lighting is simply using light in the right place at the right time When our eyes have to adjust to

bright or light-colored sources like large windows stained glass or light-colored surfaces behind the speaker or worship leaders it becomes increasingly difficult to front-light effectively Take a look at the surfaces and ambient lighting in your room Can any treatment be applied to subdue the ambient light Can the rear walls of the stage be painted a very dark color complimentary to the deacutecor of the room I prefer black but in many environs (like my home church) a dark espresso may be the limit of the deacutecor teams tasteTake a look at your lighting locations

The position of your fixtures is much more important than the number or type of fixtures you have or the control system you use Sometimes lighting is at the end of the list of priorities and the system that was designed for the room has been abandoned in favor of something less effective Quite often the layout of the stage or usage of the room has changed since the lighting was installed yet the lights were left in their original locations A common occurrence is expansion of

MANDOLIN PRODUCT REVIEW

By Martin Stillion

Trinity College TM-475 Mandola

For as long as Irsquove been paying attention Saga Music has been importing Celtic-style mandolin-family instruments under its Trinity College label As far as I know these have had a reputation for being decent entry-level instruments at an affordable price point

Recently however the Trinity College brand appears to be taking a turn toward the upscale New models like the TM-475 mandola sport several welcome enhancements to the basic features of the line while maintaining the familiar

overall look

This is a ldquomandolardquo in the American sense of the term itrsquos meant to be tuned CGDA a fifth below the mandolin In Europe where the instrument is relatively scarce it would be called a ldquotenor mandolardquo in the British Isles or an ldquoalto mandolinrdquo on the Continent in both cases to distinguish it from the more common ldquooctave mandolardquo (or just ldquomandolardquo to many Europeans)mdashthe instrument that we Yanks would call an ldquooctave mandolinrdquo Clear as mud

Anyhow a mandola can be useful in musical

situations where the tone of a mandolin might be too bright or strident And because of its lower pitch and warmer sound itrsquos often a good choice to substitute for a guitar when backing up a vocalist When moving from mandolin to mandola you can adapt many of the fingerings and chord shapes you already knowmdashyoursquoll just have to get used to everything being a fifth lower

The TM-475 sports a solid arched Sitka Spruce top (the one I reviewed even had a bit of an interesting bear-claw figure in the spruce) and solid East Indian Rosewood back and sides with an oval soundhole These features yield a pleasingly ldquotubbyrdquo tone comparable to vintage Gibson oval-hole mandolas but with a somewhat less complex overtone series resulting in excellent single-note definition Paradoxically very few Celtic bands actually use this kind of mandola (Dervish is one exception) but the tone of the TM-475 is very much in line with that of the mandolins and octave mandolinsbouzoukiscitterns often favored by Celtic players

The mahogany neck and 17-inch-scale rosewood fretboard along with a multi-ply rosewood body binding stylish one-piece bridge and classy headstock logo add up to a look of elegance Higher-end features include an adjustable truss rod with handsome rosewood cover gold-plated tuners with ebony buttons and a substantial 1-piece cast tailpiece also finished in gold A decent-quality hardshell case completes the package It is in every way a huge step up from the lower-end Trinity College mandolas and could serve your mandola needs for many years

Therersquos only one strap button and no pickup so you may have to modify the instrument depending on how you plan to perform with it I spent a few minutes tweaking the intonation on the one I reviewed and couldnrsquot quite get it perfect To satisfy discriminating ears it may be necessary to set the instrument up with different strings and possibly a new adjustable bridge

Intonation and minor setup issues may vary from instrument to instrument and are usually not difficult to fix The MSRP on the TM-475 is around $1395 but it should be available at a discount price that will make it a viable and attractive option for mandolinists looking to diversify Multi-instrumentalist Martin Stillion a 15-year veteran of worship bands plays at Seattlersquos Bethany Presbyterian Church In his other lives hersquos a husband father writer editor Webmaster composer and musician Learn more than you wanted to know about Martin at wwwstillioncommartin or wwwemandocom

Lowering the Bar

A FEW MOMENTS WITHhellip

One of the challenges that plagues many worship teams is how to keep them excited about rehearsing and practicing There are lots of reasons this can be a problem but a surprising solution is to raise the standard and increase the level of expectation I know Yoursquore thinking that you canrsquot ask more of your people Not only can you theyrsquoll thank you for it

Increased expectation doesnrsquot mean an absence of grace or understanding of your teamrsquos commitments outside of church Nor should we be legalistic about rehearsal or have an imbalanced focus on increasing musicianship for the sake of the music alone What Irsquom talking about is investing into your team as a whole and individually People actually want to get better

Rehearsal becomes boring when the material is always the same or therersquos no challenge to grow musically or spiritually If your musicians and singers think ldquoI could playsing that in my sleeprdquo theyrsquore not going to see the value of coming together to rehearse or practicing beforehand When we gently push our team outside their comfort zone they will ultimately become better at their craft and feel a greater sense of fulfillment and team spirit

This is also a great platform to start raising up new leaders and increasing the spirit of servanthood in your team As worshippers we should be leading the congregation by example in our walk with Christ not just showing up to play lsquothe worship setrsquo By increasing their own skill your team members are serving each other and the congregation by improving the experience for everyone And the less we concentrate on our instruments the more uninhibited we are to worship God

By now you are probably thinking I misspoke myself in the title of this article Shouldnrsquot I have called it lsquoraising the barrsquo Yes and no Let me explain Have you ever played lsquolimborsquo You remember mdash that game at the Hawaiian-themed party where two people hold a bar horizontally and you have to shimmy your way under it The lower the bar is the more difficult it is The pole isnrsquot dropped a foot each time Itrsquos lowered incrementally inch by inch until you think itrsquos impossible for a human to pass underneath The secret to making it to the next round is flexibility Thatrsquos why

Irsquove called this lsquolowering the barrsquo Not only are you increasing the difficulty musically you are also encouraging them to grow spiritually mdash by focusing on serving each other the church and God

Putting it into practice

bull USE POSITIVE LANGUAGE (including in your tone and posture)You can make this work or sound fun Fun is better Emphasize that you want to serve them Your desire is to invest into each one so they become better musicians and disciples individually and that will ultimately translate into being a better team as a whole Let them know how much you value them After all if it werenrsquot for them it would be a solo act and not a team

bull LET THEM KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT Reassure them that yoursquore not asking for giant leaps or mammoth tasks

bull SET ACHIEVABLE AND MEASURABLE GOALS INDIVIDUALLY AND AS A TEAMFor instance despite a high level of musicianship the musicians and singers in our church have been hiding behind music stands for years After some gentle encouragement to set aside that practice the team is rising to the challenge Whatrsquos the big deal Well for some it was indeed a big deal One singer felt she couldnrsquot survive without the lsquosecurity blanketrsquo of a mic stand and music stand A couple of weeks later her tune had totally changed mdash she was grateful for being pushed to raise the standard and felt liberated She realized she could better focus on worshipping and leading the congregation instead of having her head buried in the words

bull GIVE ENCOURAGEMENT AND PRACTICAL TOOLS TO ACHIEVE THOSE GOALSYour team members are all going to be at a different level Identify one thing they can work on equip them with the tools they need to achieve it and set a realistic timeframe to achieve it in Check in with them often to see how they are doing Give positive reinforcement And if they donrsquot get all the way there first time around

extend grace and encouragement that they are on the right track Taking small steps provides confidence for the bigger ones

bull PUSH MORE MATURE TEAM MEMBERS OUT OF THE NESTFor some that means asking them to mentor another team member Hold them accountable for checking on the other team memberrsquos progress and provide the encouragement needed Others may be ready to start leading worship Someone else might have the potential to make a great choir director The opportunities are endless and the benefits are significant

bull CELEBRATE YOUR SUCCESSESMake sure you praise your team often People tend to be very hard on themselves Theyrsquoll hear the negative over the positive every time Make sure your praise far outweighs any constructive criticism

bull LEAD BY EXAMPLEAs worship pastors and leaders we are just as much part of the team as everyone else The standard you set for yourself should be much greater than what you ask of the rest of your team We all have room to grow and when you challenge yourself musically and as a leader you will not only benefit personally but be better equipped to take your team along with you

bull ABOVE ALL ELSE LEAD IN LOVEYour heart for your team members will speak louder than any words you use Pray for them and ask God to help you be the leader they need

Melissa Doppler is passionate about equipping musicians and worshipers as leaders both on and off the platform Originally from Sydney Australia Melissa draws from over 25 years ex-perience in church leadership across a broad range of church life as well as over 20 years in corporate manage-ment and team leadership After attending bible college at Hillsong church she served on the Hillsong Worship and Creative Arts team for many years Melissa and her husband Doug attend Cornerstone Fellowship in Liver-more California
