One of the pillars to a dynamic Salvation Army worship service is music. High quality music and creative arts need strong leadership to thrive and grow. The Directors’ Studio will provide growth in rehearsal/leadership techniques and conducting skills for local leaders throughout the Central Territory in the areas of brass band, vocal groups, praise team, dance, and drama. This program is virtual and is available throughout the Central Territory regardless of location.
How does it work?
Local leaders enrolled in Directors’ Studio will submit rehearsal recordings through a shared-drive site and receive written and/or video feedback from their mentor. Mentors include highly trained Salvation Army leaders from around the world. Three separate sessions, 12 weeks per session, will be offered each year to span the typical corps programming cycle.
At the end of each 12-week session, directors and mentors will fill out an assessment to continually improve the Directors’ Studio. If an enrolled director wishes to continue into another session, this will be decided by the Territorial Music & Creative Arts Ministries Department based on availability and progress. One of the goals of this program is for it to be available to as many music and creative arts leaders throughout our territory as possible, from beginners through the most experienced.
