Playing Together
You may have five or fifteen people, but the clues of music remain the same. What I’m learning more about the worship team is that it has less to do with music and more to do with people.Truth is: music will always be here, but people won’t. – @BranonDempsey Listen to what Carl has to say and if people don’t take this topic seriously, he would rather this video be BANNED…for good…
Colossians 4.5 tells us:
“Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity.” This is applicable to us as musicians. We are to be wise in the way we posses our musicianship, while making the most of every opportunity. it’s not only God who hears us, but the people around us.

QUESTIONS:
1. As a drummer, what is most important to you in being a team player? 2. How do you work through mistakes as a team?
3. How is respect displayed when others don’t seem to pull their weight?
4. Simply, what is your role as a servant and how do you exhibit this musically?
Philippians 2.3 reminds us: [ctt template=”10″ link=”0hd6B” via=”no” ]”Let nothing be done through strife or vain glory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than themselves.” [/ctt]
RECAP:
Ratio: If you were to divide your band evenly like slices to a pie, each person owns their own space. To help keep a person from playing over everything, we create musical slices. This is not a new concept, but it is a proven method that works.Relationship: We need to communicate effectively by the way we make music. Learning about the instruments and different types of voices around us, will help guide our understanding in playing together as a team.
Respect: It doesn’t take a lot, but it goes a long way. Love your team mates. They are in the band for same common reason: to joyfully and skillfully play to God (Ref. Psalms 33.3).
