A Space For Improvement

This Saturday is another blessed day for me. Ever since we joined the choir in our church, it is a fact that we have accepted our responsibilites as part of the group. It is a matter of sacrifices for serving the Lord through music. And now, we have to gladly accept it.

Today, we were once again assigned to sing in the church. It is for the Sabbath school program and everyone are bound to attend. as a result of sleeping late last night beacuse of our practice, I woke up late. as soon as I woke up, I hurriedly took a bath, change to our uniform, ate breakfast and did any preparations before going to church. When i went to the church, the program has already started. everyone were on the pulpit, singing praises to God. After their song, I went on stage and sang together with them. Thank god I still made it to participate even not for the whole time.

After that, we went to the other room and prayed to God. After that, we preceded having our lesson study led by one of the elders in the church. After that, questions were raised and added information from other members were given and shared to everyone. Then we had the preparations for the divine service followed by the choir's response. Then introudctions were done and we sang a song in commemoration of one of a close member's death anniversary. After the pastor's sermon, we went home and had our lunch.

At about 2 o'clock, I went back to church to attend the A.Y. program. Then after that, all of the choir members were gathered. Then the expected visitor to come is about to arrive in a few minutes. We started of with few vocalizations and later on, brother Danny Uy was there, listening to us while we were singing. We sang 3 songs for him to be able to evaluate our capabilities.

After hearing us sing, he started giving us advises regarding the right posture when singing, the right way of opening your mouth to be able to pronounce the words distinctively and clearly and the right way of breathing. He also gave us some advises regarding vocalizations to improve our tones and to condition our vocal chords. Then after doing what he taught us we were asked to sing once again and we noticed the great difference with the tones we formed. They were more smooth and connected. Then later on, after our hard work, we ended it up with a prayer.

There is always a space for improvement no matter how good you are. You must always aim for perfection and do your best. These are the sentences that kept lingering in my mind as I walked home.
