Hello,
My name is Chandra and I am a Choir Director. I play for several choirs. My choir members' age range from 6 to "I'd better not say." :-) There's a Youth Choir, Young Adult (that's getting older every day), a Mass Choir, and a Senior choir.
I generally send an email to myself each week in order to keep a record of what we sang. This is helpful because I have found that I've been able to avoid "duplicating" music service for particular Sundays. It also helps me recall songs that I may overlook. The emails are all moved to a file named "What We Sang." On a few of the emails, I made short comments. I realized that I didn't get a true feel for the level of worship that the songs provided. Ergo, this blog.
I would really like to open up a dialogue about the music that use to minister to our congregations. I'm contemplating discussions about the lyrics, the musical arrangements, and especially how purpose. I would love to see all levels of musicians participate in this discussion.
So, with that being said. Let's start blogging!
LOL (Lots of Love)...Chandra

ReplyDeleteI am the President of the SMC, a member of the BNSChoraliers, Mass Choir, and an Assistant of the WHNeal Youth Choir. I also assist the Choir Director in directing Women's Day and Combined choirs. I do this b/c I am willing to be used by God. WJFBrown
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting Wilma. Feel free to comment on any of the songs that we sang. How you felt during preparation, how it ministered to you, that kind of stuff.
ReplyDeleteI think discussion is good! Brings awareness.
I love how good music turns your heart on! It's nothin' like hearing a good song that takes you just where you want/need to be in God!
ReplyDeleteO'Landra, who are you? :-) How do you see yourself fitting in the Music Ministry?
ReplyDeleteI was so proud to see and hear the Men of FNBC singing songs of praise and inspiration on last Sunday (Men's Day)! Although I love singing on the choir every Sunday, it felt good to feel the Spirit sitting in the congregation as the Men of God led us.
ReplyDeleteTo God Be The Glory!
