Matthew 28:19 "...go and make disciples of all nations..."

Dave has designed the Ministry of Musical Mission and Education to be an independent Christian education and music resource available to any Christian church or school. It is endorsed by the Michigan District of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod. Here are some of the services Britton offers through MMME.

Is classroom music education a challenge to maintain at your school? Don't give up! Enhance music education at your school with a workshop/staff seminar. Receive practical assistance in goal setting and identifying achievable objectives, location of usable resources, and a wide variety of helpful improvements. Receive free lesson ideas, including activities which can be used by non-musician teachers exposing students to basic elements and foundations of general music education.

While you're at it, let David Paul Britton provide an exciting professional Christian music assembly or concert! This 25-year veteran teacher/musician presents an inspirational and educational assembly blending Scriptural truths, great music, modern MIDI technology, acoustic instruments, group participation, and much more.

Church music programs can be a challenge to develop of you don't happen to have a full-time Music Minister, or a volunteer director who can travel to a regional workshop. David Paul Britton is mobile, and can come to your church, work with your staff, coach rehearsals, and provide resources for music, personnel, and equipment. Because of his wide variety of experiences, your questions will either be answered directly or you will be linked to someone who can assist -- whether choral or instrumental, traditional or contemporary styles.

DON'T BUY SOMETHING YOU WON'T USE OR DON'T NEED!! Technology can be confusing -- and expensive! Remember, Britton offers guidance and ideas, not product sales. Beside, you may only need to utilize what you already have. Learn about MIDI, PA systems, keyboards, and related worship music technology..

A well-planned music or drama presentation can be a big step in broadening worship and outreach progress. Likewise, a poorly executed attempt can destroy enthusiasm and generate alarm among the critics. Information about lighting, staging, props, directing, and other production necessities is available.
