MUSIC: THE SOUNDTRACK TO YOUR LIFE
(Andy Whitman, 6 sessions)
Life and music sometimes come together to make a particular tune "your" song; when others make the same connection, we realize we're not alone, that somebody gets it. This seminar is about music, what it can do, how it can make us see the world in a different way or help us make sense of things, and how God might be wrapped up in this process.


EXPERIENCING CHRIST THROUGH INDIA'S WORSHIP SONGS
(Chris Hale, 1 session)
Join Aradhna in learning how India's Christ-centered worship music came to be. You will learn some bhajans (devotional songs) and be equipped to lead bhajan groups, and accompany the songs with guitar, harmonium, or tabla and dholak drums.


THE BUSINESS OF MUSIC
(Rory Felton, 1 session)
The music industry can be confusing, arrogant, and fuel absurdity. Learn one man's story of a dream pursued, mistakes made, lessons learned, and the reality of following Jesus in an entertainment industry that's flying upside down.


ELECTRONIC MUSIC & CIRCUIT BENDING
(Jan Carleklev, 1 session)
Jan will talk about the history of electronic music with a focus on the early years, and do an introduction to circuit bending, with examples from his own work.


MUSIC, MUSICIANS & MINISTRY
(Glenn Kaiser & Tom Cameron, 2 sessions)
A longtime festival staple, this series covers the topic from dreams to brass tacks, from spirit and soul to recording contracts - as well as taking your questions. On Friday, Tom addresses vision, the company store and the web effect. Saturday, Glenn deals with spiritual success and failure.
