The Diary of a Committed Choir Member (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

Most choir members will attest that choir rehearsals can be exciting, exhilarating, and bring sheer joy; on the other hand, they can be arduous and boring! While one may be committed to learning and becoming the best they can be to bring honor and glory to God, there are times when frustration and sheer ineptness set in. Choir members may attribute these feelings to their current mood or to the people appointed to lead, train, and prepare singers for service.

I see the choir rehearsal hall as a classroom and the choir member as the student coming to that space to learn more about the technique of singing and the reason why they sing. My perspective comes from the church choir vantage point and my experience of the styles of various musicians and directors selected to train them.

Are choir rehearsals just another classroom experience where power and dominance rear their ugly heads, or are they a place where one comes to be engaged as a learner, leaving the choir rehearsal with a lifted spirit and rejuvenated to share the ministry in song to those who come to hear on Sunday morning? Well, I've answered this question. Now it is your turn--come up with your answer as you travel the pages of this documented experience!
