Mount Hermon’s Christian Songwriter’s Conference, August 25-28, 2008 (Monday-Thursday).

After a fantastic Songwriters Conference two years ago at Mt. Hermon Christian Conference Center, sponsored by Integrity Hosanna! Music, Mount Hermon has decided to start one of their own.  They will have such big names as Paul Baloche, Don Moen, Joy Williams, and many more.  If you are a seasoned songwriter or just starting, you’ll get tons of tools, information, and find great fellowship.  Hope to see you there!  I’ll be leading a couple of workshops to help songwriters craft their songs:

.
THE TASTY INGREDIENTS FOR WRITING SONGS

Enhance Creativity through the Eight Elements of Songwriting.
Understanding the key ingredients to songwriting will open up a new world of flavorful recipes for each songwriter. This seminar gives you practical ways to take your ideas and inspiration and craft them into a beautiful and expressive song. Reggie will cover working with music, working with lyrics, and how to combine them effectively.
.
USING SOUND TOWARD A SONGWRITING ADVANTAGE

Ensure Expressive Songwriting and Performance through the Four Elements of Sound.
There are four basic elements of sound found in life. Exploring each one will give your songwriting and your performing a powerful boost. Everyone wants to have meaningful and expressive songs. This seminar will show you how to take new songs, as well as already existing songs, and make the music even more vibrant and effective.

Next week, I’ll be leading worship for Silver Spur’s Teen Camp, Sunday through Saturday, July 20-26 (near Sonora, CA).  A few friends will be joining me (two vocalists and a percussionist) for the week as we seek to draw the teens into a deeper experience of worship through music.  Join us in prayer that the youth who attend will capture a renewed and deeper way to live with a lifestyle of worshiping God.
