Role: DPC Musician
Who to ask: 9am: darryl soh 10:30am: craig tucker 6pm:craig tucker
Hours required: Currently teams usually play for a one month block every three months. You need to arrive early (before church) for set up and practice. Most teams meet during the week to practice as well.

Job description:

Before the Day:
- Learn the songs before you turn up by practicing at home. This is a way of making sure your time together is not spent learning the song, but its about working out how to present the songs together as a team.
- Practice sufficiently together. Whether its weekly or less often; whether its at church or somewhere else, make time to practice, its up to each team to work out the details. This is an opportunity to talk to each other about the 'music mission' and to ensure that you're working together to fulfill your role as part of the body of Christ.
- Get to practice on time, it's a great way to show you value each other and the role of music in church.
- Work on the 'musicality'. The way you present a piece of music can have a significant impact on the way it is received. Work on intros, endings, drop outs, dynamics, etc.

On the Day:
- Arrive at 10:00am/5:00pm to do a 'run through' and be ready to start on time.
- Get a run sheet. Check with the Leader as to who is introducing songs, etc.
- Practice singing using the lyrics on the monitor (the hardcopy of the song might be different to the projector!)
- Pray at 10:10am/5:40pm.
- Be ready to start on time.

At the end:
- Leave the music area tidy and put away all music.
- If there has been a problem with song lyrics, music needing correction, stuff missing, let Ange know so we can fix it for next time.

I would like to be involved in music, but don't know many songs on the dpc playlist?

Given that there are other members of your music team, feel free to work up one or two songs - you don't, esp at the beginning, need to play on every song.

How do I get hold of sheet music & lyrics?

There are specially compiled dpc music books that contain the sheet music for our playlist. Ask any muso this Sunday or call into the office - you can sign one out and take it home.

A music training day will be on Saturday 28th February, 2009.  This will be an important day for those already serving in music ministry at DPC, as well as anyone who is interested in being involved in this way.
