A Sound & A Song
I believe every church deserves its own sounds and its own songs. That’s what this course is all about. Yes, we'll dig into the mechanics—form and structure, writing hooks that people love to sing, and how to bring lyrics, melodies, chords, and rhythms together so the song feels whole.
