YOUR FOUR DAYS
Work on your voice.
Grow as a leader.
Rehearse & collaborate
Develop ensemble listening, communicating with accompanists, giving clear rehearsal direction and helping singers work together.
Shape the worship experience
Explore repertoire selection, musical flow, transitions and the connection between music, text and the people you serve.
Share & take it home
Prepare a closing musical presentation and a personal development plan you can put to work in your church.
Each day makes room for coaching, independent or shared practice, and lunch with Nic. Enjoy time to visit St. Augustine, then return to the work refreshed. The detailed daily schedule is confirmed before enrollment.
PEOPLE WHO UNDERSTAND YOUR WORK
Build your craft.
Keep your community.
Continue supporting one another after the workshop through shared practice goals, repertoire ideas and encouragement. Contact-sharing arrangements are agreed with the group.
This Monday–Thursday week is separate from Church Pianist Week and the all-inclusive weekend intensive. Its closing presentation takes place during the St. Augustine workshop.
MONTHLY / CHURCH-SPONSORED CONTINUING EDUCATION
Invest in the musician.
Strengthen the ministry.
Offered each month as a continuing-education and professional-development opportunity for church musicians and worship leaders. Churches can sponsor a staff member or volunteer for a focused week of musical growth, reflection and shared practice.
Bring the published course description, learning outcomes and tuition details to your church when requesting professional-development funding. Funding approval rests with your church; participation is purchased for a specific confirmed workshop week.
Return with a practical plan
Develop a personal practice plan, a repertoire-development plan and rehearsal strategies you can use in your church. Share a closing musical presentation that puts the week’s work into practice.
Choose your preferred month when speaking with Nic. Exact dates and arrangements are confirmed before registration or payment.
