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!
