Tips for Tight Teams: High-Performance Help for Today's Worship Musician (Worship Musician Presents)

Tips for Tight Teams is a comprehensive resource for the music team minister. It covers the nuts and bolts of crafting the musical aspect of a service very well.The book also has helpful sections on some aspects of theology of church music ministry. Hoffman covers how to get on a music team, how to make a team better in almost every way (how to choose keys, modulating and transitioning within and between songs, arranging instrumentation and vocals, warming up, etc.), and leading the team. It does focus on contemporary style church music as indicated in the title. If you have a more traditional congregation with just an piano and organist, then the book may be of limited use to you.
