Marchant auprès des musiciens Chrétiens à travers la prière! INTERVIEW WITH JANAE SHEPHERD : A CHURCH’S MUSIC DIRECTOR ASSOCIATE. 22 juin, 2013 Classé dans : Interviews — fleurdefoi @ 11:54 INTERVIEW WITH JANAE SHEPHERD : A CHURCH’S MUSIC DIRECTOR ASSOCIATE. Janae Shepherd Janae Shepherd is my former Church’s Music Director at my Church when I lived in Missouri.She now works at another Church still in Missouri. She nicely agreed to share a little bit of insight on her job as a Music Director Associate through some questions.I’m sure you’ll enjoy her beautiful heart for God as much as I do! Did you study Music or anything Worship Leading in College? Yes, I studied church music at a Christian college. This degree has helped me a lot as I learned specific things related to church music ministry. The program was very similar to what general music, performance and music education students were studying, as far as core classes. I had additional classes on music leading, church music literature, church music history. I also had an internship with a local minister of music that was most helpful to me. I still maintain contact with this person and several of my professors and they’ve been a big help to me with questions I have about situations that arise in my ministry. A lot of my colleagues have music degrees—maybe music performance or music education. I would say in churches about 1000 members or less, they would simply require that their music minister have a music degree. In a lot of larger churches (more than 1000 members), the worship pastor or minister of music will have an undergrad degree in music and a seminary degree of some sort. I have a friend at a large church in the KC area and he has a master’s in music, which is very unusual in the church world. (Like I said, most will have a seminary degree). His master’s degree focused more on music training, as opposed to theological training, which is what you get at a seminary. In some scenarios, the worship leader may not have a music degree at all. I imagine that would be in even smaller churches where the music minister and pianist may be the only ones with any music skill. In a lot of contemporary churches, who may just have a worship band, a degree may not be required, but the worship leader or music minister will have some training in their background—informal perhaps. But I think a lot of it depends on your situation and the needs of your job. Churches with different needs look for individuals with a specific skill-set and education needed for their scenario. What is your job like as Music Director Associate at a Church? If there is something the congregation will be singing that would be a good “Instrumental Call to Worship” I’ll arrange it to make it an instrumental piece. I have a computer program called “Finale” that I use to write music. It’s just a computer version of staffEach scenario is different and even my job is kind of a “hybrid” position that has been structured to fit my skills. My main responsibility is leading the orchestra. I direct our weekly rehearsals, plan for these and recruit players. So, each week I find out what my worship pastor has planned. I arrange for a volunteer to come and pull the music and put together books for my players. They all play different instruments, so they all have different parts. My worship pastor plans months ahead what the choir will sing each week, so every week in rehearsal we will rehearse the congregational music for the coming week, along with several upcoming choir pieces. About every 4-6 weeks the orchestra plays a special—either an instrumental “Call to Worship” or “Offertory”. Every week we’ll have a couple of these pieces in our rehearsal order so we can continually have something ready. paper and pencil. This is actually one of my favorite things to do—changing a vocal piece to an instrumental piece. That’s sort of my creative outlet! Another part of my job is coordinating our age-graded choir program for kids. This means I supply our preschool and kids choir leaders with materials they need to lead their classes, and publicize the program within the church. I’ll also seek out opportunities for my volunteers to get more training. They are all volunteers so I think it’s important to help them learn more and become better teachers. In 2012/13 we had three choirs—4 & 5 year olds, grades 1-2 and grades 3-5 (I taught the oldest group). This coming year (2013/14) we will have four. We are adding a 3-year-old choir and I will be teaching it. Being involved in the children’s and preschool choir program allows me to get to know the kids in my church, which I love, because I have always loved kids! What do you like the most about your job? Good question—what I like most is the interaction with my people. I get so encouraged by their dedication. Our total involvement in worship ministry is close to 150 people, but only 2 people out of all those are paid (me and my boss). Their commitment to weekly rehearsals, at-home practice and being here on Sunday morning is amazing! I get to work with the best people. They dedicate themselves so much to this ministry because they love Jesus! Working with my orchestra members is also very uplifting for me. They are just great people to work with and I feel like some of them are my family. We genuinely care for each other’s needs! Another cool thing about this is being involved in people’s lives. We have some orchestra members who started playing when they started high school (about age 14-15). It’s cool to see them grow up, develop as musicians and eventually go onto college. It’s hard to see them go, but it’s a good feeling to know I was a part of their growth. I’ve been at my church nearly 5 years, so I’m getting to the point where kids I worked with in children’s choir are in high school. It’s been cool to see how God has worked in their lives through all that life change. Also, getting to know the kids. A huge passion of mine is investing in them and helping them grow in Christ. Plus, they are so funny! My boss even allows me to invest in students and kids in non-musical ways. Last summer I got to go to summer camp with our 3-6th graders and just hang loose with them. For me it was such a great time to be with them and watch them grow closer to God. I get to go this year again. I’m so excited! I have some great coworkers. Obviously, a big part of my time at work is spent in the office. My coworkers make is a lot more fun. We have about 15 people on staff, working in the office and we just like being with each other. Each week at staff meeting we laugh and have a good time (oh, and we actually do work). About once a month, we’ll eat lunch together, whether for a birthday or other special occasion. In your opinion, what is the best way people can pray for those involved in music in the Church or in the Christian music industry? Pray that we stay strong. Just like people in the real world, we work hard and can get so busy we don’t have time to spend with God. It can be a trap. Working in a church, one may get fooled into thinking their spiritual life is ok, even if they’re slipping. Doing ministry for God is NOT the same as spending time WITH God, in personal worship, bible study and prayer. You hear sometimes about a pastor or Christian leader who has committed a big sin. That stuff doesn’t just happen. It’s a gradual thing. Pray that we stay connected with other believers. Church leaders don’t always feel free to share their struggles with other believers in their own church because we’re supposed to be strong. It can be lonely. We need to be transparent and share our needs with others so they can strengthen us. One thing I caution people about is having compassion on your church leaders (This is not really a
