How did they get that way?\nThere are sensible and practical steps to develop such a program which begins with a clear vision of the end product. This book addresses the many interrelated issues of defining and embracing the leadership role in the church music program that is required of clergy in parish ministry and essential for a healthy congregation.\nClergy and musicians work toward the same goals; however, clergy are trained differently from musicians.

The practical issues of employment can be addressed more effectively in this atmosphere.\nIf one is looking for the right musician for the parish, what qualities does one seek? How does one find such a rare and gifted individual? A successful search complete, how does the clergyperson work harmoniously with the music leader?\nThis book provides a blueprint for:\n• Developing a vision for music in your parish\n• Locating a musician who is a partner in ministry\n• How music comes and goes in the church’s repertoire\n• Moving from musician as performer to musician as pastor\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0898696232\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0898696232.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Roberts, William Bradley\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item is very worn but is perfectly usable.
