Meet the Instructor
Ben Toler - Worship and Creative Arts Pastor
I was a private vocal coach for 10 years specializing in musical theatre and classical styles, but have worked with worship singers for years as well. I trained as a classical vocalist in college, platy multiple instruments (guitar, keys, bass, trumpet, French horn), and have directed and coached choirs, bands, and musical theatre productions in my capacity as the artistic director of an arts conservatory. I have a wide range of experience in coaching the best from students whatever the discipline.
In the midst of the turmoil of 2020, I began creating digital content for my students, church ministry environments, and - honestly - just for fun. When I joined the staff of Grace Church, I also began developing our media ministry. So for the better part of five years, I've been self-teaching in areas of music and sound production, photography and videography, editing and design, etc. with real, on-the-job stakes. So, if there’s any skill or interest you have in these areas, I can walk this journey with you.
