“Since the workshop, positive feedback has been flooding in about the music and how much more engaged people feel.”
“Grant has a gift of working with worship teams, sound techs, and empowering them to be the best they can be. We have really grown as a team through his coaching.”
“Seeing how Grant works with teams has inspired me to look differently at how I mentor my team and teach them. He has insight not only into the musical dynamics of a ‘worship team’, but into the spiritual motivations that drive what we all do.”
“Grant simply, genuinely, and authentically brings the best out of each individual he coaches.”
“Grant and his family are keenly and actively involved with the life of our church here at St Paul’s. As Grant’s pastor, I can confirm that he teaches a very God-centred approach to what worship is and a has a sincere desire to help church musicians understand, embrace and fulfil their important role.”
“I always learn so much from watching Grant lead. God has richly blessed him with the gift to draw people to God and to make musicians want to be better. Grant’s attention to detail and attentiveness to what the Spirit is doing in the room is awesome.”
“Grant’s workshop was inspiring, encouraging and incredibly practical. I’ve been playing on worship teams for 35+ years and this was by far the best and most helpful teaching/learning session I’ve experienced!”
“Grant can teach you in a single workshop what it would take experience years to share. It’s the unique gift that God has given him and he is using it to grow the Church of Jesus all around the world.”
“Grant was inspiring! Challenging ideas, practical advice, expertise, and awesome guitar and singing. He got our team talking about how we can improve. ‘Less is more’ is still ringing in our ears.”

“Grant really inspired our people to reflect on how and why we worship through music. We will be reaping the benefits of this workshop for a long time to come.”
“From an audio engineer’s standpoint, what he brings just makes my job easier! Teams learn to play and sing together as one, instead of fighting for their own place. This results in a fuller, more engaging mix at a much more manageable volume.”
“’Theologically sound, highly practical, seriously fun, interactive instruction’. Our team found that claim from the More Than Music Mentor website to be genuine and 100% true! We have been deeply inspired!”
“I have not found any other conference or class to be as simply profound and wholly practical as Grant’s More than a Music Mentor training. Within 2-3 weeks of implementing Grant’s ideas, we saw and heard a huge difference in our congregational singing. The Church singing loudly together is a beautiful thing to behold!”
“Grant taught our team to leave a gap in our sound that invites the ‘voice’ of the congregation, and boy, do they fill it!”
“Our music team had the honor of spending a weekend with Grant, and his insight was much needed. He did a wonderful job of integrating the ‘why’ and the ‘how’ of our singing and playing. Our team benefited substantially from his visit.”
“Having Grant come to our church to give a workshop gave the benefits of taking our entire team to a big conference! Everyone was immediately on board.”
“Our music team were anxious before working with Grant: ‘What if he doesn’t like us? What if we don’t measure up? What if he is critical or demeaning?’ None of these prior worries needed to be in play. The team were all warmly affirmed and lifted up by Grant’s skillful and fun coaching style.”

“It was a breath of fresh air…. would definitely want him back.”
“Grant helped our team want to come together for the purpose of leading God’s people, rather than a bunch of soloists or loud musicians. We rehearsed Sunday very differently and it was a special time knowing everyone was part of a team preferring one another. Wow, what a difference!”
“Grant has a real talent for teaching and communicating in an incredibly precise and encouraging way. Since the workshop, our team are far more cohesive, better at listening to each other and we’re making a cleaner, more inviting sound.”

“Grant helped our team have a common language and goals. The feedback from the music leaders, music teams and the congregation is great. People are really singing!”
“In ways that were both practical and God-honouring, Grant helped us to think much more about what we are trying to achieve as a team. He gently but firmly encouraged us to make effective changes and left us full of enthusiasm and eager for more.”
“Every worship team can benefit from Grant’s workshop. I truly believe that he brings people back to the heart and essence of what worship should be in the church. Sure, every church is different. However, his concepts and methodology bring a healthy unity to the whole team and the congregation.”
“Grant Norsworthy gave me many lessons and pointers on how to improve as an audio engineer and also as the Director of Technology. I instantly began to use his advice, and it has improved my workflow and the quality of the soundboard mix. His professionalism and expertise in Christian worship is excellent.”
“Our team was so inspired by what we were able to accomplish together in the time we had with Grant.”
“Still Grant’s words are ringing in my ears! Such an inspiring message. I was challenged to recognise what true worship is… and the way I express worship is never gonna be same again.”
“I love what Grant’s doing with More Than Music Mentor. This is extremely important stuff for ‘worship teams’ everywhere.”

“Through More Than Music Mentor, Grant Norsworthy offers an incredibly valuable resource to the Christian Church. He has a unique ability to elevate the effectiveness of a church’s team of singers, instrumentalists and technicians – no matter what level they’re at now.”
“The workshop was extremely helpful. Grant unlocked the mysteries of HOW music works to support congregational worship in song and helped our team become more passionate about WHY they sing and play.”
“Do yourself a favor and get to know Grant Norsworthy. He is certainly much more than a music mentor.”
“The Saturday workshop was so very helpful! I learned things I had never heard anywhere else before and God moved so very powerfully all through the songs and the message on Sunday morning. Speaking just for me and my family, I don’t think our lives will ever quite be the same again.”
“We benefited greatly not only from Grant’s knowledge, skill, and experience, but also from his humble spirit and his Godly attitude. We definitely plan on having More Than Music Mentor return to train us again in the near future.”
“We went from having a congregation that was just listening to the worship set to one that is fully engaged, singing and connecting to what we are saying about God. It’s so great to hear everyone singing!”
“Definitely would like another session! In the few hours, I have gained so much insight.”
