- Christian Drum Lesson Videos
Carl Albrecht has produced some excellent Christian drum lesson DVDs. He is not only a professional drummer and accomplished musician, but he is also a gifted teacher.I am pleased to offer his drum/percussion training videos at the website.
http://worshipguitarclass.com/christian-drum-lessons.htmlHe knows how to teach anyone the basics of playing drums. He teaches how to sit, hold the sticks, placement of drums, techniques, drumming patterns, and much more.
I particularly appreciate his words of encouragement at the end of the DVD. He talks about honoring the Lord with your music and having a servant's heart on a worship team. More on Christian Drum Lesson Videos

- Encourage Young Musicians
In talking with Alice Adams the other day it got me thinking about my own musical journey and how special it is to both worship everyday and also to play for others. Alice shared with me how much they they are benefiting from the Worship Guitar Class program.What caught my attention was when she mentioned that her kids play once a month with a Christian bluegrass group. I remembered that as a young player I used to play once a month at hootenannies. These were casual musical evenings in private homes.
Some of you are Pastors or lead Home Groups. Keep your eyes open for opportunities to invite younger musicians to lead worship. If you are a worship leaders, why not ask less experienced players to join you?

- Be Thou My Vision
'Be Thou My Vision' is a beautiful worship song that has been enjoyed by Christians for centuries. The original melody is from Ireland in the 4th century. A woman in the Newsletter list, from Hawaii, wanted to learn to play it. I've made four arrangements of 'Be Thou My Vision' ranging from very easy to advanced.
