Workshop: Music that makes Community

The Leadership Program for Musicians will offer their Spring Workshop on March 10, 2012. This year's workshop is Music that makes Community. Music that Makes Community is a movement in the church, rekindling an ancient practice of singing - a way of music making that has been central to folk traditions for centuries. It is simple, faithful and traditional. Singing without the use of books or screens, rather relying on human to human communication, creates community in a powerful and unique way. This workshop will explore ways to incorporate this kind of singing into our regular liturgies, as well as stretching some boundaries. A wide variety of music will be sung and basic techniques for leading will be introduced. This one-day workshop will be held at Church of the Holy Comforter in Richmond. Fee is just $75.
