Hi, I just came across this blog and it was a very good read. There is another FREE resource on the internet that you might not be aware of… http://www.cclitv.com. CCLITV has a number of the videos from Paul Baloche you posted here and a lot more.

Specifically the INSTRUCT channel which focuses on brief, focused video workshops on a single topic related to worship leading, worship teams, musicianship, etc…

You can read more about CCLITV here:

I know this is kind of shameless self promotion but you’ll genuinely find LOADS of great free worship resources at the Musicademy blog. Do drop by and have a look. You can also sign up to receive a regular newsletter with more free genuinely useful stuff.
