Leading music in church should be simple. It's just singing songs, how hard could it be?In his short but direct trawl through pitfalls, issues, key changes and some of the less delightful challenges of playing music in a church, Andrew Clayton unpacks his approach to serving the church congregation. Arranged pretty much according to all the arguments he's ever had in a church, he lays out some of the thinking behind what church musicians do, how they might approach some of the challenges that arise when everybody is a volunteer and nobody in the congregation is a professional; all with good humour and grace.In two and a half decades of experience, across a range of church settings and traditions, Andrew tries to pull out common threads, identify some obvious mistakes to avoid and generally provide a framework for conversations in church about music without becoming too hung up on one way or tradition.It's a brief but honest exploration of what music in church is about, and how faithful and gifted musicians make it happen across the church every week without fail.
