Not all MDs can build an excellent team. Some can build and run it. Some have never built one but have been part of running it. Almost 100% of the time anyone who can build an excellent and effective team can as well run it. almost 100% of the time. This is why- once you know how you got to a place you know what should be done to maintain that status. Many have been handed a great choir and because they never built one, they didn't know the protocol of excellence and greatness so in few years they messed it up. Some can build a just OK team or an ordinary team. But you s...

Building Excellent and Effective Music Teams – Part 1
By Tommy Tush.
This is for Pastors, Music and Choir Directors and Music team members who desire growth and change.
Building excellent and effective music teams is a great task. Not everyone has done or can do this. A lot of people can join or lead a team after everything is rosy.

Worship and Emotions
There's the saying that women are more emotional than men. I beg to disagree though. I believe both are equally emotional, it's just that what touches our emotions can be quite different from what touches that of the women.

10 Things Every Musician or Artist Should Know
1. Never start out in music from what you're not good at. There is something you know, something you're good at and known for. There's something you have mastered- let that be your launching pad while you learn the rest along the way. Your relevance is tied to what you know and can do, not what you're trying to learn. People will only pay you for what you know not what you're trying to learn.
