Whats included
Three 1 hour-long instrument lessons:
Choosing between leading from guitar or piano, we’ll partner you with one of our seasoned music teachers for a monthly private lesson. In these lessons, your teacher will assess your musicianship and focus on the skills that need strengthening. From chording to rhythm, and all in between, they will help you develop the essential skills of leading worship from an instrument.
Three 60 minute-long vocal lessons:
Once a month, you will have a group voice lesson with our amazing vocal coach, Tamara. These sessions will help you identify and overcome your breaking points & weak spots. Her creative methods will lead you out of your comfort zone, confront those insecurities with courage, and discover your pure, authentic sound.
Three Worship Leading classes:
Each month, you will sit in on a class taught by one of our Summit Sounds worship leaders. They will give you valuable wisdom and insight into the art of leading worship, covering bases such as: how to build a good setlist, how to lead a team, the heart of worship, flowing prophetically and spontaneously, your responsibility as a worship leader, and so much more. These classes are 1-2 hours long with about an hour of teaching followed by a Q&A time with that lesson’s teacher.
Our junior class will take part in songwriting exercises that will be unique to their track!
Backstage Passes:
Once a month, you’ll come to a practice and put into practice everything you’ve learned that month. You could be band leading and communicating with the team from a talkback microphone, learning to operate Ableton, playing and/or singing, etc.… Then you’ll be able to do it for the following service in a worship environment.

ONLINE STUDENTS
If leading from piano, you must have an overhanging tripod for your piano class where hand placement can be seen clearly.
You must have a strong Wi-Fi connection to ensure an effective class without any issues.
As your backstage pass, you will have to lead worship at least once a month and provide a video or live stream link to that service.
This may be at your church, at a small group, outside with some friends, or even in your living room with your family. Whatever current government health regulations in your area allow - get creative with it! After this, you will have a follow-up conversation with the worship leader that taught you the previous week. You’ll talk about how it went, things to work on, and ways you can lead more effectively.
