Rhythm Makers: Creative Worship with Percussion and Drums

When words are not enough

Our song is a collection of connected rhythms played together. You will learn and develop your individual creative expression and bring these collaborative rhythm songs together in unity to God. Explore how to take concepts, emotions and our spiritual essence and express it in song.

What to expect:

CREATE:
● Delve into the practical elements of making music—exploring form, journey, and the spiritual power that songs carry.
● Expand your “Sound and Rhythm Vocabulary,” covering elements like Timbre, Dynamic, Soundscapes, and Tempo.
● Building clarity and intention in your creative offering, so that your sound and rhythm can be activated.

GATHER:
● Move from being facilitated to know how to join with others in rhythmic conversation and dynamic reaction.
● Bring the music together to make one song with a range of improvisational techniques that create a space for worship to evolve.

ALIGN
● Using our rhythms we will create songs that express the essence of our worship, prayer and declaration.
● We will draw on the concepts of the fruit of the Spirit and be guided to how we can individually and collectively respond with our creative song.
● We take concepts, emotions and our spiritual being into what we play.

WHO
● Everyone: If you can walk, if you can breathe, you can drum.
● If you call yourself a Drummer this is a workshop for you to connect your rhythms with who you are and who you were made to be.
● Adults and older teens (15+).
