Announcing Church Sound University, A New Worship Audio Training Program

Addressing the key essentials for church tech teams – volunteers in particular – to attain consistent sonic quality at every worship service and event.

ProSoundWeb and Live Sound International have created and are presenting Church Sound University (CSU), a new training program focused on the essentials of worship audio.

CSU’s faculty, who are actual long-time worship audio practitioners in addition to serving as educators, have developed a one-day training curriculum that’s specifically tailored to address the key essentials for church tech teams – volunteers in particular – to attain consistent sonic quality at every worship service and event.

The first CSU session is being presented on Saturday, October 12 at Heritage Fellowship, a non-denominational Christian church located in Reston, Virginia.

Every attendee will participate in both dedicated learning sessions as well as hands-on breakout sessions in order to receive more individualized group training — ensuring that participants leave with far more knowledge than they started.

The CSU workbook (included with the class) will allow attendees to keep their new knowledge close at hand during their next worship services. (Go here to find out more and register.)

Lead instructors include:

Mike Sokol, long known for his dynamic, effective worship tech education, most notably as the long-time instructor of the HOW-TO seminars held at hundreds of churches throughout the U.S.

Samantha Potter, an active worship tech educator noted for a highly relevant and practical curriculum. She also serves as a sound design consultant and IT media supervisor for the houses of worship market. (Listen to Samantha providing more details regarding CSU here.)

James Stoffo, who’s not only worked as the RF/wireless coordinator for some of the largest events in the world, but is also passionate about educating audio techs on wireless system best practices.
