Ready, Set, SING! (+$30)

CINDY KENNY | New Hope Church | Eugene, OR

The voice is an incredible, God-designed instrument—and it’s worth caring for with intention and excellence. Worship singing is beautifully multi-faceted, blending skill, technique, and a heart surrendered to Jesus. In this pre-conference intensive, we’ll dive into essential foundational techniques that build strength, consistency, and freedom in your worship leading. You’ll also have the opportunity to submit any vocal challenges you’re currently facing so we can address them together in a supportive, practical environment. Through guided, hands-on exercises, you’ll expand your abilities, discover what works best for your unique voice, and grow in confidence as you lead others in worship.

Rhythm Guitar: Choose Your Own Adventure (+$30)

DAVID HARSH | GuitarSuccess4U | Marysville, WA

Welcome to a workshop that will be guided by you through exciting worlds of fretboard knowledge, capo tricks, and musical and rhythmic artistry. This class includes a vast slide deck we can selectively navigate to provide you with visual charts and tables to answer some questions about rhythm guitar that you didn't even know you had. Worship leader? Come join us. Worship guitarist or songwriter? We got you. Join us for a pre-conference intensive that has never been taught before and will never be taught again (because you and your fellow guitar travelers will choose your own adventure!)
