"Curt Taipale is the best in the church space for training — people who have had successful careers started from his boot camps." — Steve Wolverton
Maybe the pastor couldn't hear himself in the monitors.
Maybe the vocals weren't as clear as you wanted.
Maybe the livestream sounded different than it did in the room.
Or maybe everything worked reasonably well, but you still found yourself wondering...
"Why does this system behave the way it does?"
"Why does it sound different week to week?"
I'm Curt Taipale, and I want to invite you — and a small group of fellow church techs — to join me for a 6-Week Live Cohort.
The goal is simple:
To finally understand your church's sound system.
I've talked with more than 10,000 church sound techs over 39 years of training, and not a single one suffered from a lack of information.
If anything, the problem is the opposite.
There are thousands of YouTube videos.
Thousands of Facebook posts.
Thousands of opinions.
And yet every Sunday morning, sound volunteers across the country are still asking the same questions.
Why is that microphone feeding back?
Why can't people hear the pastor clearly?
Why does the livestream sound different than the room?
Why do some changes seem to help while others make things worse?
The problem isn't a lack of information.
The problem is that nobody has ever shown them how all the pieces work together.
That's exactly why I created Church Sound Boot Camp.
For 39 years I've been teaching church sound volunteers, worship leaders, pastors, and technical directors the audio fundamentals that actually matter.
Not the myths.
Not the latest Internet fad.
Not whatever someone repeated on social media because it sounded convincing.
The principles that explain why your sound system behaves the way it does.
Because once you understand why something works, you no longer have to guess.
You know.
And that changes everything.
You troubleshoot faster.
You communicate better with musicians and church leadership.
And frankly, you'll have more fun driving your system.
Most importantly, you become more effective in serving your congregation.
6 weeks. Daily emails from me. One weekly Q&A call. A private community.
Daily guidance from Curt
Monday through Friday, you’ll receive a short, focused email guiding you through the next lesson—so that you always know what to study next and how to apply it to your own church. Read the email in about 10 minutes, watch the lesson and begin putting it into practice.
Weekly Q&A Calls
Join me Thursdays at 7:00 p.m. Central to ask questions about what you’re learning—and about the sound system you work with every week. If you can’t attend live, the recording will arrive in your inbox the next morning..
The Complete Church Sound Boot Camp Course
You’ll receive all 49 video modules, the workbook, strategy worksheets and lifetime access—so that you can revisit the training whenever your equipment, team or responsibilities change.
A Private Cohort Community
Learn alongside a small group of fellow church sound techs facing many of the same Sunday-morning challenges. Ask questions, share what you’re discovering and get help when something isn’t clicking.
Certificate of Completion
Complete the course and pass the final exam to earn your certificate—so that you and your church leadership can recognize the work you’ve invested and the audio foundation you’ve built.
Beginning October 5th, I'm going to personally guide a new group of students through the Church Sound Boot Camp.
We just completed ILC-16. People keep asking when we'll do it again. Now we are — for the 17th time.
One thing we've learned over the years is that students are significantly more likely to complete the course when they go through it with a cohort than when they try to do it alone.
That's important because the value isn't in buying the course.
The value is in finishing it.
Individual — $447
For the church sound tech, worship leader, or volunteer who's ready to stop guessing.
Tech Teams — $347/person
For worship pastors and tech directors training a volunteer team. Build a shared vocabulary and a common standard across your sound team in six weeks.

For context: a single day of in-person church sound training typically runs $1,500–$3,000. The Live Cohort gives you six weeks of daily attention from a 45-year pro audio veteran for a fraction of that cost.
If you complete the cohort and don't feel more confident behind the console, I'll refund every penny. No questions, no hoops. You have 90 days from your start date.
I can offer this because in 16 previous cohorts, the completion rate has been dramatically higher than self-paced. Students who go through it with the cohort finish it. And students who finish it get it.
"I have learned from you in 6 different states!"
David Simms
CSBC Grad | ILC-16 (2026)
"I haven't come up with the total number of your classes I have been privileged to attend. I do know I have learned from you in 6 different states and now online. Knowledge of each board's signal flow shows me if I can use a method I want or if there is another route to accomplish my task.
"My favorite part has been the Q&A calls."
Jeremy Davidson
CSBC Grad | ILC-16 (2026)
"My favorite part of the whole cohort has been getting to hang out with you guys and learn from your experiences, share some stories. It’s been fun. I’m in a fairly rural community and there’s not a lot of other techs in the area that I get to mingle with."
"This is an amazing class."
Russell W. Dunn
CSBC Grad | ILC-5
"This is an amazing class. I took the six week class and learned a lifetime of sound technology. Sign up. You’ll not be disappointed. "
"Highly Recommend it."
Ben Donahue
CSBC Grad | ILC-16 (2026)
"What you may not understand before it will help you to understand the overall production."
"As a graduate I can say it is extremely beneficial."
Ron Brown
CSBC Grad | 2013
"I’ve been to more than one including the advanced course. I’ve taken our techs which kicked my budget one year but worth the expense."
"I've learned something every time I've attended."
Joshua Chilton
CSBC Grad | HTGTS 2015
"I’ve been through several of Curt’s courses. Fantastic material with easy learning and great practical steps to grow in our craft. "
"Switched from playing in the praise band to running sound."
David Penn
CSBC Grad | ILC-4 (2021)
"This course was terrific and very helpful. I have a pretty crazy work schedule. Most weeks I put in 70-80 hours so being able to listen to the lessons at my pace was the best part."
"CSBC should be essential training for anyone wanting to run sound for church. "
Eric Chancey
CSBC Grad / Workshop Host
"Curt covers the basics and builds from there in an easily understandable way and gives you a strong foundation of learning to grow from. I’ve hosted several of the Boot Camps live and have sent staff and volunteers through the online course. I highly recommend it, even as a refresher."
