“Since the workshop, positive feedback has been flooding in about the music and how much more engaged people feel.”
“Grant’s a passionate dude and some of it kinda rubbed off on me, haha! I realised that I’ve got lots to learn.”
“Having our instrumentalists and singers use Grant’s techniques paid off instantly! Our congregations were engaged and participating more than ever.”
“It was one of the most educational and informative nights I have ever been to! I feel like I have learned so much – not just about how to be a better musician but also a better worshipper.”
“Grant helped our team have a common language and goals. The feedback from the music leaders, music teams and the congregation is great. People are really singing!”
“The vitality and life that Grant Norsworthy teaches in his workshop is over the top! I have wondered for about 10 years why we had not found a leader like Grant to teach our lay leaders these important things.”
“Grant Norsworthy is a very gifted communicator and teacher. He’s clear and precise but also very kind and patient as an instructor and mentor.”
“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.”
“We really enjoyed having Grant from More Than Music Mentor with us and would love to have him back again.”
“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.”
“Our time with Grant has brought more unity to our church and has helped the music team and congregation be more of the same heart in why we sing and make music – to worship God!”
“Grant really inspired our people to reflect on how and why we worship through music. We will be reaping the benefits of this workshop for a long time to come.”
“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.”
“I love what Grant’s doing with More Than Music Mentor. This is extremely important stuff for ‘worship teams’ everywhere.”
“Awesome… This dude is like the worship whisperer!”
“Because of Grant’s More Than Music Mentor coaching, our entire team has started a new journey of excellence which has given us more time and focus on discipleship within the team and leadership before the church.”
“On Thursday I attended Grant Norsworthy’s class called ‘Crafting a Sound that Invites the Congregation’. The following Sunday at our church service we were able to apply the things that were taught and our congregation sang more than they ever have! We are very thankful!”
“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.”
“In a day when churches continue to struggle over worship styles or applaud those who perform as musicians, Grant reminds us that God is the audience of all true worship.”
“I am truly touched by Grant’s humility and passion to lead people towards true worship.”
“Put your humble pants on and have Grant come and spend time with you and your team. It is time and money well spent!”
“Grant was inspiring! Challenging ideas, practical advice, expertise, and awesome guitar and singing. He got our team talking about how we can improve. ‘Less is more’ is still ringing in our ears.”
“I was very impressed with the quality of Grant’s teaching and his ability to immediately engage and captivate the audience. I would expect that kind of quality at a top notch worship conference, but Grant came to us!”
“Grant is a true pleasure to listen to, learn from, and work with!”
“Do yourself a favor and get to know Grant Norsworthy. He is certainly much more than a music mentor.”
“Seeing how Grant works with teams has inspired me to look differently at how I mentor my team and teach them. He has insight not only into the musical dynamics of a ‘worship team’, but into the spiritual motivations that drive what we all do.”
“Grant brings together a wealth of biblical and practical wisdom that can help churches and leaders find their way through the fog of issues surrounding worship, music and performance on Sundays.”
“We were left with a greater vision for our worship ministry, as well as some very concrete practical steps we were ready to take in the following months.”
“From sound guy, to musician, to vocalist, to director, Grant offers expert advice that provides easy and practical tips for the entire team.”
“Grant is an effective communicator who is able to work with teams of varying ability to get the best from them and grow their musicality. I would highly recommend Grant to any church seeking to enhance their sung worship experience.”
“Grant’s workshop was inspiring, encouraging and incredibly practical. I’ve been playing on worship teams for 35+ years and this was by far the best and most helpful teaching/learning session I’ve experienced!”
“Grant’s training is invaluable! By spanning both the musical technicalities and the spiritual attitudes of the praise team, he manages to bring everyone back to the foundational basics while inciting necessary growth.”
“Our team was so inspired by what we were able to accomplish together in the time we had with Grant.”
“Grant helped our team want to come together for the purpose of leading God’s people, rather than a bunch of soloists or loud musicians. We rehearsed Sunday very differently and it was a special time knowing everyone was part of a team preferring one another. Wow, what a difference!”
“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.”
“Definitely would like another session! In the few hours, I have gained so much insight.”
“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.”
“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.”
“We were engaged from start to finish by Grant’s witty, genuine, and thoroughly informative style of communication. I continue to get comments from those who were in attendance that his workshop is still making an impact upon them and their families.”
“Grant was able to pinpoint specific areas where each of our team members could improve. Some found this direct approach to be quite challenging, but – after taking his advice on board – those were the ones who made the biggest improvement and valued the time with Grant the most.”
“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.”
“Grant was a TREMENDOUS asset to the conference. He is articulate, thoughtful and a great worship band technician. We had great feedback from our attendees, and I would highly commend him for your church worship program or as a conference speaker.”
“Want next-level musicianship and growing worshipers? Book Grant.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Grant has a way of capturing your attention and helping you focus on what’s imperative about worship. Whether it’s singing a song, the spoken Word, or living a life of worship, he always strikes at the heart. The Lord will use Grant to bring change to your congregation.”
“Grant’s workshop was informative and straightforward. Clear and articulate. Simple for the beginner to grasp and thought-provoking for the musician on a more professional level.”
“I have not found any other conference or class to be as simply profound and wholly practical as Grant’s More than a Music Mentor training. Within 2-3 weeks of implementing Grant’s ideas, we saw and heard a huge difference in our congregational singing. The Church singing loudly together is a beautiful thing to behold!”
“The Saturday workshop was so very helpful! I learned things I had never heard anywhere else before and God moved so very powerfully all through the songs and the message on Sunday morning. Speaking just for me and my family, I don’t think our lives will ever quite be the same again.”
“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.”
“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.”
“The difference before and after Grant’s coaching is ‘chalk and cheese’. Our music team has been given real insight into the higher standard that is possible as we work to create a sound that encourages worship in our church.”
“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.”
“Having Grant at our church was at once a wake-up call for us and a fantastic experience of praise. He spoke directly to our specific needs in reclaiming the true meaning of worship, and his ability to work with our musicians to bring us up a level was exactly what we hoped to accomplish.”
“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.”
“We loved having Grant come to ROCC and share with our team! It was a great way to get everyone excited and better equipped to lead others in worship! Would highly recommend him coming to minister to your team!”
“Grant brought some amazing insight into the technical and spiritual aspects of leading people in congregational worship. Our teams were inspired and motivated by the ideas that he brought. We are so grateful for Grant’s input and his heart to equip the Body of Christ.”
“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.”
“Grant has a real talent for teaching and communicating in an incredibly precise and encouraging way. Since the workshop, our team are far more cohesive, better at listening to each other and we’re making a cleaner, more inviting sound.”
“Grant simply, genuinely, and authentically brings the best out of each individual he coaches.”
“In ways that were both practical and God-honouring, Grant helped us to think much more about what we are trying to achieve as a team. He gently but firmly encouraged us to make effective changes and left us full of enthusiasm and eager for more.”
“As a Christ-follower and as a musician it is encouraging to meet a man who preaches a message of unity on stage, and then still lives it when the crowd has left the building.”
“Whether you’re a big or small church, doing this or that musical genre, with an all-pro band or beginner volunteers, a big choir or one singer with an acoustic guitar, Grant’s laser-focused message will be of great benefit to your worship team.”
“This experience has left a lasting impact on my spirit, and I am sure the same is true for many others also.”
“Right out of the gate Grant provided us with tools to improve our practice atmosphere, teamwork, and mechanics. He offered the right balance of humor, service, and leadership.”
