A VOCAL WARM UP WITH SANDI PATTY
After several months of many of us not singing, let’s think about singing again! I made a warm up video for our choir and thought I’d share it with you all. There’s nothing better than just singing a little bit every day to keep your voice strong. This warm up that I personally use is GREATLY influenced by my vocal teachers and coaches over the years. Thank you Greta Dominic, Mark Gilgallon and Diane Sheets.
New Choir Song: "God, You're So Good"
CHOIR:
Who would have ever thought, due to Covid-19, we would not be able to have choir practice or sing in the choir at Church for months on end? Not me - and I'm sure not you, either!
Until we can officially meet again, we will continue rehearsing "at home."
You have homework.......
We are going to keep rehearsing our Musical and other music
which I will e-mail to you or post below on this page.
Thank you for your continued faithfulness to the choir and to the Lord!
Do you have your "I AM" Musical Rehearsal CD
and Black Music Folder at home with you?
If not, please come by the church,
Monday - Friday from 8:00 am - 3:00 pm (closed from 12:00 - 1:00 for lunch)
and pick-up your CD and black music folder in the choir robe room!
If you can't locate your black music folder or your CD,
please click my e-mail address below and let me know;
I will be glad to make you another copy.

(During this time of temporary change, if you would like to call Regina, our church secretary, to make sure the church office is open, please call her at 828-456-9434.)
Month of October
And every month therafter, until we meet together
as a Choir Family, once again.
Practice the songs that I e-mail to you every week.
Sing each song and concentrate on the words and message of each song.
Now, sing the songs again and let your heart and voice sing to God and praise Him.
Month of September
Practice A Wonderful New Song: "God, You're So Good"
Listen to the words and reflect on the goodness of God!
(See the Listening Track and Sheet Music Above)
Months of July and August
Continue to practice the "I AM" Musical pieces that you might be struggling with. Then, every Friday, when you receive the e-mail from me,
use the music that I send to you as a musical devotion for the next week.
Say the words out loud, listen to the message, and ask yourself these questions:
"What do the words mean to me?
How is God speaking to me about my life through the message of this song?
Be honest with God and let Him have 1st place in your life!
Month of June
During the month of June:
Continue to practice each piece and think about the words that you are singing
and the message it is specifically saying to YOU.
In one or two sentences, please write down what each song means to you.
We will share some of your comments, later.

Philippians 4:4-9
4. Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
5. Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.
6. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation,
by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
7. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding,
will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
8. Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble,
whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable
—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
9. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me,
or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
I am always available!
