Rhythm Sections: Are They That Important?

A typical rhythm section consisting of drums, bass, guitar, piano, and horns works together to create the foundation of a song. While vocalists are usually the highlight of a musical group, the rhythm section determines the feel of a song and makes it all possible. This presentation will show that because this section is so versatile, one can use the same chord progression and instruments but different grooves to completely change a song.

Putting Music to the Psalms

The Psalms were meant to be sung or chanted in biblical times not just read. My goal is to put music to 10 Psalms during this semester to assist in making them come to life for the listeners/participators. I will be explaining my project including steps and technique that helped me and then performing 2 of the Psalms.
