We had
a blast last year! Read what attendees told us about the 2003
Word Music Keyboard conference...
This
conference was a very positive experience for me and I
look forward to going to more of these!
What a joy to meet these great artists in person!
Wonderful! Very worshipful - I'm eager to start practicing
new techniques learned!
Thank you for a great keyboard conference!! Well-organized!
Fun! Worthwhile!
I just wanted to say thank you so much for this workshop,
I had lost my heart and joy in playing because of some
personal struggles in my life and because as a classically
trained musician... reading the chord charts is so difficult
and different. But, the Lord met me here today and encouraged
me through the worship, the teaching, and all of you personally.
He has restored my heart and my joy and love of what He
has called me to do. I am renewed to stretch and grow
and be renewed.
Thank you Word staff for a blessed event.
Great conference - especially for the price!
Most of all, thank you for making it so God-centered and
Spirit-focused
I loved the cameras providing close-ups of the hands/keyboards!
We needed lots of Kleenex!! Very moving & inspirational
This event was all that I anticipated:
Talented, gifted musicians who love the Lord
Devotional times with meaning and real worship
Practical tips to help me improve my ministry
Encouragement
An opportunity to allow the
Lord to speak to me in a new way
Thank you for all your efforts! It was very organized,
professional and encouraging.
