Good Things to Do As Choir Members
Posted on 6 January 2011
I love and admire God's choir directors! Now after serving in church music ministries for over 30 years, I like to find ways to be helpful to these music leaders. So here's a brief list that choir directors may wish to print, post, or distribute to their choir members. All good choir directors say these things, but perhaps I have stated them in a slightly different way that you may find helpful.
GOOD THINGS TO DO AS CHOIR MEMBERS
1. Always be on time or preferably be early. There is not a good excuse for being late to every rehearsal!
2. Have a pencil ready to mark your music from the director's instructions. Spell as correctly as possible. (Can you spell Crescendo?)
3. Limit your talking during the choir rehearsal. Directors know that you will talk a little, but discipline yourself to be courteous of your choir director. It is frustrating to have conversations going on while trying to rehearse!
4. Encourage your choir director. A note or small gift (such as homemade cookies) can show your gratitude!
5. Let your choir director know when you will be absent from a rehearsal or service. You are important, and it helps in planning.
6. Work to improve as a musician. Strive for excellence.
7. Pray for your pastor and choir director daily. We all need the blessings of the Lord!
