- When you’re playing a group of songs in a worship set, an important thing to consider are the transitions between those songs. But songs are in different keys, different tempos, different moods altogether, so how to you craft smooth transitions to help your worship sets flow?
This video covers:
1. Why it’s important to spend time crafting smooth transitions in your worship sets
2. Creating flow by keeping some songs in the same keys
3. Making transitions smooth by choosing relative keys (circle of fifths)
4. Using a drum intro to making changing keys easier
5. Finding commonality between songs to make transitions better

When I was in a choir and a few vocal ensembles in college, our director always reminded that people remember the first and the last notes. I feel that is a pretty great way to sum it up and stresses the importance of a good transition in the set! Thank you for the video
This is a great way to start learning some transitions. You never go wrong with playing in the same keys or same speeds. Go to a brotha from anotha motha church and forget it, that's a different ball game. Which one is better to "create a smooth transition"? BOTH OF THEM. I would encourage all worship leaders to get out and go to that "different" type of a church so as to learn and open up your mind to the various possibilities. Great video and insights.
I wish I could like this video twice. Thank you for this resource!
+Matthew Willis You could always leave a comment and like the comment. 🤓 Thank you for watching. I’m glad they’re helpful.
Wow. Wow.. thanks soooo much for this video. As a worship leader this is super helpful. GOD CONTINUE BLESSING YOU.
Being a bass player for over 4 decades I have stressed many times to the band how crucial it is to have the start and ending of the song right! Song transitions are critical to ebb and flow of praise and worship!
Great examples! Church on the Move are friends of ours. They are a constant inspiration for everyone!
One of both worship teams in my church did a good transition between a song in Disco Rock Style and another one in Bluegrass Style. Worked perfectly
i love the transition especially on Heaven and Earth.. just wow.
Thank you so much from Philippines to your church!!
It's helpful, that you show, in what different ways one can keep some similarity between 2 songs.
Wow...I'm in awe at this great resource of information. Have to share this video with our church musicians.
Thanks for watching Sharon!
I appreciate,
instructing
I found that important to know how to make transition between worships, cos if they are well done , they allow to keep the mood of worship
Thanks for the video! Great info for planning song transitions!
Wow !!!
Great lesson !!!
All glory to God !!!
ThanQ Sir !!!
Thank you so much! These tips are so practical. I might share this one to our musicians because there are some terms that I dont really understand. Hehe, God bless!
Glad it's helpful, Leo!
This video is awesome, got my sub. God bless you brother
Wow good stuff. I am going to try this to help our transitions. Thanks for the video and God bless.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you guys for your amazing work
Looks like the worship leader at 1:25 just finished a CrossFit WOD. Or they lost the A/C in their sanctuary. Great tips Dave!
Churchfront with Jake Gosselin Ha! That’s Jordan Weston from Church on the Move in Tulsa. He definitely lays it all out on the stage every weekend.
You should collaborate with him in another video, "How to lead worship and burn 1,000 calories at the same time" haha
The dude’s fit and super skinny, so you know it’s workin!
Yup. Jordan lays it down everytime. I lead at another church here in Tulsa and love to stop by COTM when I can to worship off of the stage.
Churchfront with Jake Gosselin dude was just setting up a visual transition to go with the musical transition into “What can WASH away...” haha
This is really good stuff! Thanks Dave!
Great VIdeo Dave! great vid to share with the team ;)
Thank you for this! Very helpful.
Music theory making my head spin
Great video. I was at the Sweetwater Worship Connect for that key transition session you used as your last clip.
Robert, man, I'm jealous! I bet that conference was amazing. All of those Sweetwater Worship Connect clips they've been sharing on Facebook are GOLD. Every. Single. One. Such great practical advice.
Oh man they are amazing. I have been three times for worship connect and bring as many of my team members as possible. My only complaint is it's not long enough. I have been to NWLC multiple years and I like sweetwater better I think. They both have pro/cons but I really like it.
thank you for this as a songleader my keys are not on the basic keys like G E C D, its C# Bb B, Eb F# its helps me how to transition to next song ☺
Great video! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for this
very Great ideas
We have a very small worship team 2-3 people (only keys and acoustic guitar)….we are hoping to use an IPad to generate a pad underneath to help our transitions but we are new to the apple ecosystem - are there any apps or tutorials that you would recommend?
Hey this was really useful thanks ! God bless
Great show
Interesting and helpful 🙏🏻👍🏻
Great video. Thx!
Awesome video
Thank you! Very helpful! :) :)
Thank you for watching!

Nice.
Any recommendations for transitions between recorded songs as opposed to a live band? The transition "sounds" horrible!
Can someone give me link to the heaven and earth video? At 4:30
What's a good way to transition when you're all using sheet music during the service? We're all volunteer amateur musicians...
Slowly. Check out this video -> czcams.com/video/gWdo81Iz1X8/video.html
What was the song in the Key of E before “Death Was Arrested”?
Also, what was the song in Dm after “Never Once”?
Also, what songs were in the transition from C to E?
Can you link the full videos from the other worship clips?
Jamie, if you email me through practicalworshipblog.com I can answer all your questions. I think i can also look up the links from my old notes.
I've been trying to find the full video for the first clip (Church of the Move) for a while, if possible could you send me the link for the full video please?
