HymnListI’m honored to be guest-blogging on New Music Box, the website of New Music USA. They were interested in my experience writing music for church, and as it’s not something they’ve delved into much, we thought it’d be a good area to explore.

I’m writing four posts. One will come out each week this September; riffing on all the “Three Things I’ve Learned From…” articles that the Broad Street Review has allowed me to annoy their readers with, I’ve come up with 12 Things I’ve Learned from Church Music.

These are the first three, and you can read them all here:

1. Start Where You Are
2. Write What You Know
3. Write for People You Know
