In this webinar, Charmaine unpacks the topic of how to choose a song key for your worship songs and sets. She explores the concept of the “congregationally-friendly” key and walks through some important questions to ask—original key vs your comfortable vocal range, age/gender demographics creating dynamic song journeys, and finding balance in your worship sets.
Just wanted to thank you for posting this on the “regular” website, since I am not a FB fan 😉
And thank you for your suggestions. I just want to underline that we can’t be afraid to change the key of a song, so that the congregation, but more importantly, the worship leader an actually sing it.
Hey Karen! Definitely some important factors!
Hi Charmaine, my name is Andrew and I am one of the worship leaders at my church and this is an area where I am very determined to grow. I have benefited so much from your program, thank you so much. One thing I wanted to say is that I hit a wall when I have watched similar videos and yours. I am a visual learner and during the male/female ranges portions I get lost and I have come to the conclusion that for those like me it would be great to have visual aid, say a pdf of a keyboard with the highlighted sections/parameters of the different male/female ranges as well as the “no go zones” to follow along with you. Maybe even another video where a few different songs are chosen and walked through that process of male/female ranges while simultaneously employing that visual aid I mentioned above. Just a suggestion. Thank you for your time.
Hi Andrew! Thanks for the suggestion! 🙂
