Group singing

You don't have to be a guitar player or a song leader but you need to provide for group singing.
  • Study the literature to find music that is currently being used in venues you and your group are likely to be attending such as youth conferences and rallies. Focus on this music.
  • In group settings most kids like certain kinds of music:
    • Action music, with hand motions, call and response etc
    • Joyful, fast paced music
    • Pretty music with harmony
  • Music sung by a group needs to be simple. A lot of good Contemporary Christian Music is not appropriate for these settings because they are too complex to learn easily. Sometimes portions of a song can be extracted and turned into a group singing song.
  • Beware of only doing songs you like.
