Add another fun-filled event to Stellar Awards weekend!
Word has it that the weekend will feature a BOOT CAMP for Verizon Wireless’ How Sweet the Sound national choir competition.
The three-day session, featuring gospel music giant Donald Lawrence, will offer workshops from notable professionals, including producer Aaron Lindsey, JJ Hairston, songwriter V. Michael McKay, Judith Christie-McAllister, industry exec James Robinson and Earl Bynum.
Workshop topics include Songwriting/Arranging, Pulling the Best from Your Choir, Production and more.
It’s all going down from January 12-15, 2011 in Nashville, TN at the Gaylord Opryland Resort Hotel. Registration cost is a mere $150. For more details, and to register, click here.
Anyone planning to attend???
For the cost of a Greyhound bus ticket from Nashville to Detroit (guaranteed less than $150), you could visit at least one church service at (insert name of Detroit mega-church) that same weekend and basically learn the SAME STUFF offered at the workshop from some of the "top" gospel music giants for FREE (esp. if you dodge the multiple offering lines).... I will be SO GLAD when all this gospel profiteering hits rock bottom. And I'm not saying that a skilled laborer is are not worthy of his/her hire, but my goodness, all these workshops given REPEATEDLY with NO evaluations to document attendee success/satisfaction is getting out of control. Hopefully folk will learn to become WISE STEWARDS over their finances.
