Announcement as of 10th of December 2012

Dear all,

Rehearsal

14th of December, Friday, at CCF RH at 19:15

15th of December, Saturday, at CCF RH at 15:00

16th of December, Sunday, at CCF RH at 12:45

Laurie will not be available until the 21st of December. David will be in charge in the meanwhile. For those who cannot attend the rehearsals, kindly practise on your own with the audio files previously posted. Thank you for your comprehension and usual cooperation.

Transport
So far, Sock Pin, Lawrence, Marjorie, David and Christel needs transport to attend rehearsal on Friday. Kindly send us an email by Wednesday 23:59 if you need transport. Thank you for your cooperation.

Kindly note other than choir practice  there is also sketch practice right after our rehearsal. i.e. Choir rehearsal usually ends at 1930, at most 1945 and sketch rehearsal begins right after, so you may practice upstairs on your own after choir rehearsal or you may do something else on your own. Choir members who are not participating in sketch will be staying at CCF RH until 2200 for return transport. Alternatively, choir members may arrange their own return transport. 

Concerning Spiritual Gifts (1 Corinthians 12)

Everyone are gifted, the fact you are in the choir proves you are musically gifted, some more, some less. Nevertheless, you are all gifted! Do not lose hope, try your best, try hard, even if you fail, fail better next time, learn from your failures. We are all in the body of Christ, we will never let you down, even if you may be the weakest in the choir, you still are important, your presence is important! 

Diamond bright

Due to time constraint, we will not sing this song. Serena will play this live accompanying a power point presentation narrating the story of nativity.

Kodaly's method

We taught the Kodaly's method to members on Sunday, we will practice using Kodaly's method some more time. Here is an example video:
