How to Lead Keys Players ft. Jake Gosselin from Churchfront

Recently we had the chance the head out to Colorado and hang out w/ our good friends at Churchfront.

If you're not familiar with Churchfront, you will be soon!

While we were working on some video collaborations together, Jake and I sat down, turned on the cameras, and had a great conversation about an important topic.

See, we both have our background in worship leading and most often lead from guitar.

But there's been a seismic shift in band responsibilities over the last several years, from overwhelmingly guitar focused to now often featuring keys just as much if not more than guitar.

But how can you empower and grow the keys position at your church when it seems like modern worship music is a never-ending, breakneck sprint towards the next trend?

In our discussion Jake and I highlight Four Ingredients that are necessary for successfully empowering and growing the keys position at your church.

These ingredients are a must learn, whether you're the keys player yourself or the worship leader interfacing with your volunteers.

A big thanks to Jake for taking part in this amazing conversation.

Often times there's some investment needed to get started. Do your keys players need to buy a Mac and mainstage etc in order to start playing in church? This is one of the challenges faced, in that, often times keys players may not easily find the funds to do that. How do you manage this hurdle?

Allow the keyboard player to be the leader in that transition time. I find it difficult if I am playing a progression that another person is not following and trying a different progression in their noodling.🤦‍♀️
