DYNAMICS

Dynamics are so useful when leading worship. There are many benefits, if you change the volume and feel (the dynamics) of a section or song, it can keep people’s attention from wandering off.

Many new worship leaders (especially if they are limited musically) will play the whole song and all other songs after it with the same rhythm and volume. This can get boring and people can lose their focus on God. Often it is the case that they play songs quiet and slow because it is easier to change chords, that isn’t necessarily bad, and they can do this well, but if they introduced some change in volume/pace it will keep the people with them.

If you reduce the volume of a section, it has the effect of focusing people on what they’re saying more, rather than just singing songs and words without thinking about them. This is a good thing, especially if you feel that people are not engaging with God. Then, once you’ve engaged them again, you can build it back up and get people fired up and passionate.
