I believe in music. It has always been my interest.
After my first Worship Dynamics I lesson, I realised there is always something new to learn and improve on.
Thanks to Believer Music, I am starting my new journey in Worship Dynamics II. I'm very happy with the progress of the group sessions and the friendly atmosphere.
I would recommend anyone with an open mind and persistence to practice to go forward in their love for music.

Mankind is created to be instruments of worship. We are meant to resonate with God to produce a melody that is unique and impacted by the kind of life we choose to live. If we live by the perfect will of God, the melody we produce will bring joy and gladness to God's heart.
Learning a musical instrument raises us up to a higher level of worship. To me, the ukelele is small, light, portable and easy to learn compared to other instruments. The selection of worship songs in the Believer Ukulele Program serves to enhance my worship to God, even though I have just completed my 4th lesson.

10 years ago, I suffered from a rare and incurable chronic joint disease and had lost the functioning ability of my wrists and all other joints. I picked up the guitar to worship my Savior with my supernaturally-restored joints through Believer Music. Today, I have been given a diagnosis by doctors of an incurable stage 4 breast cancer. Through Believer Music, I am able to worship the Lord with the ukulele - a gift from my cousin on my birthday. As long as I live, I want to worship the Lord with this unique instrument. I asked the Lord for a patient and understanding coach and I thank God for my coach. Thank you Believer Music for making my dream possible! :)

But I know nothing about music!
Individuals who attended courses elsewhere but are still unable to play confidently and effectively are advised to join this Beginniner Module. Using a superior syllabus along with solid instruction from Believer Music coaches you will be playing well very soon.
What do I learn in 2 months?
Conducted in small groups (i.e. 6-8 persons), the 1 hr per week sessions include: INTRODUCTION to the ukulele and its role, essential RHYTHM fundamentals, CHORD theory and formations, SONG APPLICATION with familiar praise & worship songs.
I received Guitar lessons on previously. Is it still applicable in this course?
Yes, your experience playing the Guitar is applicable because you have learnt to listen to yourself as you play and follow general timing as you play with strumming rhythms. Here, you will learn how to handle the smaller instrument(Ukulele) and add greater variety to strumming styles. You will be able to decide the most appropriate rhythm to use as well as play the song in more than one fashion. The course also challenges you to form creative chord variations for your songs.
Do I have to bring my Ukulele around? Is it convenient?
All Training Rooms are fully equipped with practice guitars. Our Training Centres are conveniently located at either International Plaza - Flagship (beside Tanjong Pagar MRT station) or One Commonwealth (beside Commonwealth MRT station).
Is it FUN?
You'll get to meet people who share the same passion. Learning to play a musical instrument is highly rewarding because it leads to growth in a music-spiritual dimension. Learning to play the guitar is more than fun. It's life changing. We all know of people around us whom we think have successfully learnt to play the guitar reasonably well. With practice, this skill will stay and enrich not only your lives but also the lives of people and family around you (and generations to come). For many of us who are just starting to pick up this unique skill, believe that the journey is well worth it.
