Creative Skill Assessments

A Helpful Guide

Hello!

Thank you for expressing interest in serving on the Creative Team!! We are passionate about loving & leading our church in worship and we can't wait to get to know you better and help find your best fit within this Creative space.

A key part of this process is doing a Skill Assessments (aka an audition) with some of our key team.

We know this can be a vulnerable space but please be assured we are committed to making this experience one that is straight forward & enjoyable for you!!

Below you will find two songs to prepare, along with what to bring for your assessment.

If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate reach out.

SONGS TO PREPARE

WHAT TO BRING

Just yourself! Your assessment will take place with one of our key team around a piano.

Your assessment will take place with a 4 piece band. 

You will need to bring a set of your own In Ear Monitors (if you don't own IEMs, any pair of wired headphones will suffice) + your gear.

Drummers: we have a drumkit & click available for you to use. If you have your own snare or cymbals, please bring those (otherwise we will provide).

Guitarists & Bass Players: please bring your guitar, a lead, tuner, your pedalboard and amp (whatever you have).

Keyboardists: we have a keyboard on site with inbuilt sounds in addition to MIDI capabilities. If you are using Mainstage or Abelton, please bring your laptop, MIDI or USB cables and relevant equipment.

Strings Players: please bring your instrument.

WHAT TO EXPECT

We will begin with running through some warmups around the piano with you. It gives us all a chance to relax and check we are sufficiently warmed up.

From there we will look at scales, assessing your vocal range before then working through portions of the songs you have prepared. We are looking with you at things like pitch, tone, an ability to identify the melody of a song and subsequent harmonies.

On arrival our team will show you the ropes setting up your equipment, getting you sorted with an In Ear Monitors pack to hear the band and provide you with any additional gear required.

From there we will soundcheck your instrument before running through portions of the songs you have prepared.
