In this hands-on session, watch Darren work with local high school students as he guides them through this gospel music workshop. The session will be followed by a Q&A opportunity.

Gospel music has rich cultural roots in African American history and has influenced several popular music genres. This workshop will engage students in learning a gospel song through rote learning, the development of aural musicianship skills and the application of gospel music vocal nuances and performance practices. Participants will leave the session with a greater understanding of the role that gospel music plays in influencing other popular music genres and in promoting messages of hope, perseverance and resilience. Come prepared to sing!

1:00-2:30 - Student Workshop
2:30-2:45 - Break
2:45-3:15 - Teacher Q & A

NOTE: This session will be held off-site at a local high school. Delegates who have paid for this session will have it automatically added to their Sched. The address for the session's location will be sent out to those who have paid for the session in advance of the conference.
