Maybe it's because I've been writing a research paper for my English class, but I'm going to be writing this blog and using Nigel "The Droff" Hendroff's blog post on Hillsong Creative (The Pursuit of Tone) as a reference and proving point. Regardless, I hope that you find this helpful and informative, and I pray that you take this to heart. Also, as with any of my posts, feel free to comment with your opinions, questions, and suggestions. I want this to stir discussion.
What, then, is the "Pursuit of Tone"? For those that are newer to the area of Worship Leading, this is a key point to consider, regardless of whether you are a vocalist, a percussionist, a pianist, a guitarist, or a techie (shout out to ya'll!). The pursuit of tone is just what it sounds like (deep, I know). It is the constant search-and-discovery that you go through in order to make things sound just right. No human likes bad-sounding music, so why would God?
