Imagine you buy the latest album from your favourite Worship Leader? You're settled down in a quiet place to soak and meditate, you're praying and you press play to start the track. What you hear are terrible, incoherent pitchy noises playing back in your ears. What you expected to hear was a sweet, dulcet and melodious voice, singing worship that you can easily listen to and sing along with, but instead its mumbling, incoherent, discordant and distracting. 

Now imagine that the worship leader is Matt Redman? Kari Jobe? Dante Bowe? Chandler Moore? CeCe Winans?

Let's be honest. A mumbly, pitchy and incoherent voice is not what you really want to hear from your worship leaders, especially when you've spent money.

So why do we allow it on Sunday Mornings?

• What is worship? 
• Why does God want us to sing?
• ​What does God want us to sing?
• How does God want us to sing? 
• Do we need to sing in tune

Check out this article from Trustworthy Word which breaks down why we sing as an act of worship.  

I love this scripture! It neatly sums up why training is important: If, as a worship team leader, you want to support your singers, learning about vocals will increase your ability to do this.
