General Information

 “Song is a weapon that we can always use against discouragement.” (Ministry of Healing, p 255) It’s time to train an army of youth to “sharpen their weapons” to lead in praise and worship as we engage in the final conflict between good and evil!

Sing for Joy Music Workshop is designed to equip youth to serve in music ministry. We cover basic music concepts while improving singing skills and preparing music for the Sabbath worship service. Topics include support/breathing, vowel modification, basic music reading and rhythm, ear training, harmony, sightsinging, intervals, and more! We aim to give our youth the tools they need to be able to participate and lead out in worship in their local churches and have a lot of fun in the process!

This workshop is geared for Youth ages 13 (by April 12) and up. Parents are encouraged to participate as much as possible, although supervision of their younger children should always take first priority. The “Tween” bridge track for 12 and 13 year olds includes time with the Youth, but they will also have other activities with their own group. The Children’s Program for younger siblings is packed with music, games, and crafts, and parents are always needed to assist with that.

We will begin on Monday afternoon with orchestra players only. Everyone will meet from 9:30 am to 3:30 pm, Tues–Fri, with some additional practices in the afternoons for orchestra, small groups and/or soloists. The music learned will be shared during the Worship Hour on Sabbath.
