🎧 Episode 1: What on Earth Are We Singing?
Guest Author: Dr. Daniel Thornton

In this episode of Worship Leader Essentials, we explore the often-overlooked question of key selection in worship music. Are we choosing keys that people can actually sing? Dr. Daniel Thornton breaks down real-world data from PraiseCharts to challenge assumptions about "singable" keys, vocal range, and what it really means to lead a congregation in worship through song.

Whether you're a worship leader, musician, or pastor, this episode will help you better understand how key choices impact engagement—and how to better serve your church through thoughtful, Spirit-led music planning.

🔑 Topics Covered:

• The myth of the "universal singable key"
• Vocal range realities in congregational worship
• Download vs. recorded keys
• How leaders can adapt songs for their context
