... Charlotte that sounds beautiful! I'd love to have a copy of it! We have three flute players in our ward (wish we had that many organists!). What do you...
Hi there, I found this group after searching the web for ideas on LDS choirs. I recently was called to be the choir director in a ward where there is a lot of...
I was first called as the RS chorister in our branch, then the music chairman/branch chorister for Sac. Mtg. That also made me the de facto choir director....
... Oh, Suzanne! How awful! That sounds just horribly rude! I bet that woman feels terrible about saying it (I certainly hope she does!). I've only had to be...
Suzanne, I was also called to be choir director when I had little experience. There were many more capable people than me in the ward. I went home and prayed...
Wow, I can't believe someone could be so insensitive to say such a thing. What a horrible experience. I am proud of you for determining to keep going. When I...
Suzanne - The first thing you should do is forgive that very rude person their ignorance. The second thing you should do is open to the back of the hymnal and...
Suzanne, Ditto to all of the reassuring words others have given you. If you pay more attention to what the Spirit tells you about your calling than what...
Suzanne - Could I add ome more thought? As a person who has sung in a lot of choirs, I would encourage you to go out and buy a baton. Choir directors who use...

Hi all, ... This comment came as a surprise to me. The music section (14) of the Church Handbook of Instructions, p. p.289 says: "The hymns of the Church are...
... The musicians in our ward were told recently (six months ago? Or less?) that this injunction had been lifted, my understanding was via letter from the ...
Marvin Goldstein has some pretty piano solos books also. I'm not sure what the title is, but it has a mountain on front -- with a blue sky above. It's an...

Dear All!!! I noticed your letter on my EMail and decided to clarify. We do not know how the rumor got started that only hymns could be used in our church...

Bruce, I'm not sure the exact date, but our stake president came to our ward, and to all the other wards, and saying all that stuff about how returning...
hello all, My opinion on the thing about the music only being hymns and so forth. I think that it should be all music that invites the spirit. There is much...
... pretty ... most ... My reply is not meant to be rude or anything, so please do not take it as such. But it IS meant to be definate! Any "hymnal only"...
Thank you for speaking your opinion. ... I have not been to a temple that singing is allowed for at least 15 years. And I miss it very much! If you live in an...
Brother Forbes ( I assume?) Your statement: "The Church Music Committee pushes hard for a hymnal-only policy, and in local meetings they preach it." This...
