“Grant taught our team to leave a gap in our sound that invites the ‘voice’ of the congregation, and boy, do they fill it!”
“Do yourself a favor and get to know Grant Norsworthy. He is certainly much more than a music mentor.”
“Grant has helped our worship team understand their purpose and goal, then provided exceptional musical/vocal/tech coaching toward that end. We are looking forward to continuing our relationship with Grant in the future.”
“Grant Norsworthy is a unique dispenser in the arena of authentic Worship today. I highly recommend Grant to anyone seeking to encourage, teach and inspire deeper worship from the praise team and The Church in general.”
“You can’t help but see Grant’s heart for worshiping God and his passion for training church music teams. He will take your church band to a new level musically. And he’ll also inspire them to be better worshipers of Jesus.”
“Grant Norsworthy’s teaching and training on WORSHIP took our Worship Arts Ministries, Media Ministries and church to a deeper understanding of what true worship is. What Grant shares has been “road tested” in his own life and makes a connect with all who hear his compelling message.”
“Within the course of a one hour workshop, Grant’s instruction gave worship leaders and church musicians vital tools to lead efficiently.”
“I really needed to hear what you had to say. It brought tears to my eyes. The Lord was really convicting me. It’s a wonderful thing to feel that passion for Christ again. Thank you!”
“It was amazing! In over 30 years of running sound desks, I can’t remember such a high level of engagement from the congregation – worshipping God at the top of their lungs. I had to increase the volume from the PA to be heard above them!”
“Having Grant Norsworthy work with our band for two hours was the best investment we have made in our music ministry. We now have renewed focus and enthusiasm for serving our congregation and Him. Thank you, Grant!”
“Our song leaders, musicians and vocalists were greatly encouraged by the weekend and our whole congregation responded wholeheartedly to what God was able to do through Grant.”
“Grant Norsworthy gave me many lessons and pointers on how to improve as an audio engineer and also as the Director of Technology. I instantly began to use his advice, and it has improved my workflow and the quality of the soundboard mix. His professionalism and expertise in Christian worship is excellent.”
“Our time with Grant far exceeded my expectations. The coaching he gave our praise team was clear and thoughtful. Even weeks later, we are still talking about the things he shared and the ideas he has given us.”
“Grant’s a passionate dude and some of it kinda rubbed off on me, haha! I realised that I’ve got lots to learn.”
“The More Than Music Workshop that Grant taught a few years ago is still paying dividends in my music, worship, and leadership. Thanks for allowing God to use your gifts in such a tremendous way!”
“Our team was so inspired by what we were able to accomplish together in the time we had with Grant.”
“Still Grant’s words are ringing in my ears! Such an inspiring message. I was challenged to recognise what true worship is… and the way I express worship is never gonna be same again.”
“’Theologically sound, highly practical, seriously fun, interactive instruction’. Our team found that claim from the More Than Music Mentor website to be genuine and 100% true! We have been deeply inspired!”
“I absolutely loved having Grant work with our student worship team. With visual illustrations, practical advice and a biblical foundation, he connected with our students immediately. I can already tell this will benefit our team for months to come.”
“This experience has left a lasting impact on my spirit, and I am sure the same is true for many others also.”

“Our praise band spent three hours with Grant one Saturday afternoon and it has revolutionized both our playing and singing together as a team, and our perspective on what it means to worship and be worshipers of God.”
“The workshop was extremely helpful. Grant unlocked the mysteries of HOW music works to support congregational worship in song and helped our team become more passionate about WHY they sing and play.”
“Praise God for the gift of music! Grant gave the team a very solid biblical teaching on the definition of worship, and how to work in unity to lead our congregation to worship through music. We hope that Grant can give us some more coaching in the near future!”
“We benefited greatly not only from Grant’s knowledge, skill, and experience, but also from his humble spirit and his Godly attitude. We definitely plan on having More Than Music Mentor return to train us again in the near future.”
“Our music team were anxious before working with Grant: ‘What if he doesn’t like us? What if we don’t measure up? What if he is critical or demeaning?’ None of these prior worries needed to be in play. The team were all warmly affirmed and lifted up by Grant’s skillful and fun coaching style.”
“We went from having a congregation that was just listening to the worship set to one that is fully engaged, singing and connecting to what we are saying about God. It’s so great to hear everyone singing!”

“I love the way Grant worked with our small church music teams!”

“It was a breath of fresh air…. would definitely want him back.”
“Definitely would like another session! In the few hours, I have gained so much insight.”
“From an audio engineer’s standpoint, what he brings just makes my job easier! Teams learn to play and sing together as one, instead of fighting for their own place. This results in a fuller, more engaging mix at a much more manageable volume.”
“Grant provides a service sorely needed in churches today. In just a few short hours, he was able to help us beyond what we had even hoped for. He helped ALL of our team, regardless of their skill level.”
“Grant’s passion for worship, skill as a musician, and gift for teaching beautifully combine in a clear and engaging manner that brings a richer understanding of what worship is.”
“Awesome… This dude is like the worship whisperer!”
“At the heart of Grant’s message is the truth that musical worship is not a performance but a time to join as a congregation in praise to God.”

“Our music/tech team is now at an entirely new level due to Grant’s encouragement.”

“Grant has a deep passion and desire to serve the Church in how and why we worship through music. He has the big picture in mind and can help your teams bring more purpose and intentionality to their vital role.”
“A standout thought to me from Grant’s teaching was the need for our musicians to make ‘small musical sacrifices’ to prioritise the ‘higher joy’ of seeing our people more fully engaged in worship.”
