The accessible resource pastoral drummers have been waiting for...
Drums in the Church is a hands-on guide to the effective and creative use of
New!
percussion instruments in the context of Christian worship services. This essential DVD
covers fundamental rhythms and techniques for a wide range of musical styles.
Marc Anderson, accomplished performer and instructor of percussion, has traveled the
world teaching and worshiping in hundreds of churches, temples, and synagogues. This wealth of
life experience provides the foundation for Drums in the Church.
Using the songs of the church, Anderson teaches Latin and African styles on hand drums,
American folk style on the dumbek, and Irish or Northern European styles on the bodhran.
Experienced percussionists, choir directors, and music ministers can all benefit from the easy-to-follow,
step-by-step instructions on the DVD, which are reinforced by the accompanying booklet.
The Drums in the Church DVD features a picture-in-picture window for a front-row view of the
different drumming techniques, which are demonstrated from several angles. Finally, church
musicians everywhere have a helpful tool to encourage the joy and spiritual energy realized through
the proper and tasteful use of percussion instruments in worship.

The Liturgical Flutist Denise La Giglia and Anna Belle O’Shea
Denise La Giglia and Anna Belle O’Shea have created a liturgical flutist’s “bible”
New!
that will answer all your questions regarding basic techniques, improvisation, and the
liturgical function of a pastoral musician. The first of its kind, The Liturgical Flutist combines a flute
method book with a liturgical textbook and is intended for use by all pastoral ministers.
Over 70 years of collected experiences are bound within. The book is divided into three
main sections and each deals with a different stage of development and skill. There is a spiritual
component to each chapter that encourages personal conversion and faith formation
as well. Section 1 is for the novice and covers the fundamentals; section 2 expands into more
information on the ministry of playing at liturgy and beyond, while the final section focuses on
improvisation and spontaneous playing as an instrumental prayer.
This comprehensive book is sure to transform any player, volunteer, or professional, into an
effective, sensitive, and knowledgeable liturgical instrumentalist.
