Here's what's happening around VISIBLE SCHOOL... Straight from the mouth of the staff and faculty.

Slump-Busters

January 29, 2009 - 1:00pm | by Andy Newton

Is your writing in a rut?? Your songs in a slump? Well let's ask this question: how do you approach songwriting? Is it always in an identical way? Are you a melody maniac who leaves lyrics to last? Or are you a journal junkie who mitigates melodies? Do the opposite of what you normally do. Apple also has an App for the iPod Touch and the iPhone called Oblique Srategies--download it! It's free! It was developed by a musical giant named Brian Eno as a deck of cards in the '70's.

This week the faculty of VISIBLE SCHOOL presented some exciting options for the students to particpate in this summer.

Spring Semester Starts Out Strong

January 29, 2009 - 1:00pm | by Tommy Loser

Audio guys are back from winter break and classes are already in full swing. Recording starts up again in just a few days, and the guys are ready to start cranking out the hits again. Be on the look out (listen out?) for lots of killer music radiating out of Studio A soon.

Guitardednecessity

Just wanted to let everyone know that I have the best job in the world. All I have to do is remind my guitar students to keep Jesus first in their lives, and to keep practicing. Man... good times.

It is very important that vocalists and all musicians study music and performers from all kinds of genres and time periods.

Understanding the Complexity of Worship

December 4, 2008 - 1:00pm | by Shannon Kropf

Each fall semester, first-year Modern Worship Leadership students participate in a project that helps them understand a greater breadth of the Christian worship spectrum.

Each student chooses a church or worship experience that is unlike what they have grown up with or what they are used to. Then, they read a selection in their studies which helps them understand concepts that are common to all Christian worship experiences--including congregational values, liturgies (whether formal or the "unwritten rules" of more casual worship), worship space, etc.

Fieldtrip Time!

December 4, 2008 - 1:00pm | by Heather Isaac

If you read a few months ago the keyboard department had a field trip planned for this weekend. The time is finally here! All of the keyboard students will be piling into a van and heading to Jackson, TN this Saturday night. Brooke Waggoner will be performing at Union University and it's an awesome opportunity to see someone who went to school for composition and is now pursuing their dreams and beautifully using their training. What's super exciting is that we actually get to meet Brooke and spend time with her before the show to ask questions and just hear about her experience.

Another Semester of Audio is Winding Down

December 4, 2008 - 1:00pm | by Tommy Loser

The sound of mixing is filling the eastern wing of the Visible School as audio students finalize the sounds of the semester. Fall 2008 produced lots of quality music from all three studios at Ardent and our humble Studio A here at Visible. Be looking for the Sounds of the Semester coming soon!

Make a fan into a feedback!

December 4, 2008 - 1:00pm | by Andy Newton

This week I've been talking to songwriters about a built-in audience critique. After you perform, do you have people come up to you and commend you on a job well done? Make a fan into a feedback! This week I've been talking to songwriters about a built-in audience critique. After you perform, do you have people come up to you and commend you on a job well done? Instead of letting them get away with a simple, "Great show man/lady", or "Good job on that there gee-tar". Accost them and ask them specifically they liked about your songs! What jumped out at them?
