Practising to be spontaneous

| 0 comments

That sounds like an oxymoron but I think it is necessary. At the moment, I’m pondering how to encourage my worship team to lean more towards more spontaneity but just turning up with a list of songs and saying “I may play some of these but I can’t tell you in which order yet” is too big a step. I’ve been in settings where that was the case but those are typically ones I’ve stepped into. Some musicians, including myself, find it a relatively comfortable approach but, for many, it is a nightmare. Even for myself, my quick-shifting vocabulary is a bit rusty and, if I can’t rely on the rest of the band to cover the gaps, the road will be full of pot holes.

So, the solution is going to have to be working towards practised spontaneity!
