*CREATE NO ROOM TO BE CONDEMNED*

Most choristers are discouraged in performing their duties due to the manner at which they sometimes confronted on issues by their leaders. It is advised that choir leaders adopt approaches which will not end up discouraging their members. However, choristers have a great role to play to avoid a lot of these soo-called ‘condemnations’ that turn to discourage them.


It is true, choristers have their personal plans and schedules and this, sometimes make it difficult for them to participate in choir activities. It is very right to inform your choir leaders of your absence to such ‘clashy-activities’.

If you belong to other organizations or your other duties in the church may not permit you to robe for church services, it is very right to inform your choir leaders of your absence; but this should not stop you from attending a practice preceding that Sunday – choir practices are not only for Sunday services.

If your job may/does not allow you to attend practice early as you wish, it is very right to inform your choir leaders about your situation. You should not just take advantage of it and always be absent. If you can even attend the last 30 minutes of practice and put yourself in the task of the day, it will really help you.

There are a lot of possible situations where choristers can really pre-communicate with their leaders to avoid being questioned in a manner which may turn to discourage them from performing their duties.

THE RIGHT PLACE OF THE CHOIR

 INTRODUCTION: Many Christians are well used to having a choir sing in their church services and today, the singing of a choir has been a fixture of the worship in many churches; this is understandable as choirs feature in the Bible’s own description of divine worship. Their singing complements the spoken word of God that is given by the clergy. The role of the clergy is widely known; what about the role of the church choir; and where can they be positioned in the church to play their role very well? All churches have designated sitting places for their choirs in the temple; but which part of the temple should be the best place for the choir in other to perform their role very effectively? This is the problem that was examined.

MISMATCH OF MUSIC

STREET RHYTHMS 06-02-2017 *MISMATCH OF MUSIC* Many a times, choirs sing the 'nice music' at occasions and you (if you really understand music) will realize that the song, though nice, has nothing to relate to with the occasion. One possible cause is that some choir leaders don't find the meanings of song text (especially, in languages they don't understand) before teaching them.

ROBING AND DISROBING IN PUBLIC

Most of our choirs use choir robes as their uniform for every divine or full service. These robes are either sewn in the American robe style (the academic gown/single gown style) or the British robe style (the cassock & surplice style). Some choristers are always found robing and disrobing outside the vestry; this practice is not good.
