I work part time as a worship leader for a large church, so music is a huge part of my life. Each song I sing or play forces me to focus on breathing, pauses, nuance, and the feel of working with others — and there’s nothing like the feel of when that all comes together with drums, electric guitar, keys, and more. Each person is listening to what’s being played/sung, yes, but they’re also listening to the stops and the breaks to know how to proceed next. Those who know how to work like that certainly benefit those who might not be as knowledgeable, helping them not to stumble over something that should be a non-issue.
