General Information

Leading in Song

• Music Makers enhance the beauty and spirit of our services by helping to lead the congregation in song.

• Just singing from your seat helps lift everyone’s voices.

• And preparing the music and learning harmonies by attending rehearsals is fun and connects you to our community!

• For singers: All you need is a love of making music. You do not need to be skilled in Hebrew or reading music. “By ear” singers are welcome. 

• For instrumentalists: ability to play proficiently (at least intermediate level) either by ear or by reading music is required.

• You are also encouraged to sing along with all other music, in addition to the pieces we rehearse together, as part of our singing congregation.

Preparation:

• Are you a digital person? You can access all of the music on a phone, tablet, or other device using the link above. You may wish to copy files to your local device and even annotate them if you have appropriate software.
