  • When you’re playing a group of songs in a worship set, an important thing to consider are the transitions between those songs. But songs are in different keys, different tempos, different moods altogether, so how to you craft smooth transitions to help your worship sets flow?
    This video covers:
    1. Why it’s important to spend time crafting smooth transitions in your worship sets
    2. Creating flow by keeping some songs in the same keys
    3. Making transitions smooth by choosing relative keys (circle of fifths)
    4. Using a drum intro to making changing keys easier
    5. Finding commonality between songs to make transitions better

    When I was in a choir and a few vocal ensembles in college, our director always reminded that people remember the first and the last notes. I feel that is a pretty great way to sum it up and stresses the importance of a good transition in the set! Thank you for the video

    This is a great way to start learning some transitions. You never go wrong with playing in the same keys or same speeds. Go to a brotha from anotha motha church and forget it, that's a different ball game. Which one is better to "create a smooth transition"? BOTH OF THEM. I would encourage all worship leaders to get out and go to that "different" type of a church so as to learn and open up your mind to the various possibilities. Great video and insights.

    Great examples! Church on the Move are friends of ours. They are a constant inspiration for everyone!

    Being a bass player for over 4 decades I have stressed many times to the band how crucial it is to have the start and ending of the song right! Song transitions are critical to ebb and flow of praise and worship!

    One of both worship teams in my church did a good transition between a song in Disco Rock Style and another one in Bluegrass Style. Worked perfectly

    Looks like the worship leader at 1:25 just finished a CrossFit WOD. Or they lost the A/C in their sanctuary. Great tips Dave!

    • @practicalworship
      @practicalworship  6 років тому +2

      Churchfront with Jake Gosselin Ha! That’s Jordan Weston from Church on the Move in Tulsa. He definitely lays it all out on the stage every weekend.

    • @Churchfront
      @Churchfront 6 років тому

      You should collaborate with him in another video, "How to lead worship and burn 1,000 calories at the same time" haha

    • @practicalworship

      The dude’s fit and super skinny, so you know it’s workin!

    • @onetakemusic9896

      Yup. Jordan lays it down everytime. I lead at another church here in Tulsa and love to stop by COTM when I can to worship off of the stage.

      Robert, man, I'm jealous! I bet that conference was amazing. All of those Sweetwater Worship Connect clips they've been sharing on Facebook are GOLD. Every. Single. One. Such great practical advice.

    • @rwcguitar
      @rwcguitar 6 років тому

      Oh man they are amazing. I have been three times for worship connect and bring as many of my team members as possible. My only complaint is it's not long enough. I have been to NWLC multiple years and I like sweetwater better I think. They both have pro/cons but I really like it.

    We have a very small worship team 2-3 people (only keys and acoustic guitar)….we are hoping to use an IPad to generate a pad underneath to help our transitions but we are new to the apple ecosystem - are there any apps or tutorials that you would recommend?
