This study replicates and greatly extends a study by Lauran Benjamins (2019) on the musicking experiences of praise band musicians. The work reported herein is a multiple case study that examined the musicking experiences of Contemporary Worship Music (CWM) in three diverse church settings (white-evangelical, Ukrainian Baptist, and Spanish-speaking Hispanic). It examined praise band musicians' musicking practices to determine: (1) how they acquired and developed their skills within praise bands (popular music ensemble that performs CWM), (2) how they perceived individual musical agency in conjunction and contrast to "corporate (collective) worship" as expected in church music. It also examined the role of church music directors (MDs) and how they perceive their position as facilitators of musicking experiences. The data collected from the semi-structured interviews and observations with the participants (n=12) were analyzed through three theoretical lenses that included Green's (2008) principles of informal learning, Small's (1998) philosophy of musicking as relational activity, and Karlsen's (2011) socially inspired understanding of musical agency. Data analysis revealed several conceptual themes: deep immersion in CWM, musical agency in CWM, and praise bands as non-formal learning context. A comparison of the three church sites found more similarities than differences; however, two differences were found to be: significant economic disparity between church sites and ensemble dynamics affected by variance in participants' ages. Lastly, the study found two sociological issues that were not expected: participants' disappointment with early formal lessons and ageism in the CWM context.
