General Information
Your Special Job
As a Music Maker, your job is to enhance the beauty and spirit of our services by helping to lead the congregation in song. When you sing from your seat in the congregation, you help others to sing too and you lift all of our collective voices. Preparing the music and learning harmonies by attending rehearsals is fun and connects you to our community.
You are encouraged to sing along with all other music, in addition to the pieces we rehearse together, as part of our singing congregation.
RSVPs
Please remember to RSVP for each rehearsal and each service where you will sing.

Preparation:
Are you a paper person? Please print out music PDFs for yourself ahead of time and put them in a binder, and please bring a pencil, pen, and/or highlighter to rehearsals.
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.
Each service date folder contains a Service Outline chart. The pieces we will work on are the ones in the following chart that have an X in the CHOIR column

Music Makers have really gotten the energy going and the music flowing, making for wonderful, prayerful services! Let's do it again! At this rehearsal we’ll prepare to lead the congregation in music for the February 6 Service.
PAST: Music for Jan. 30 Service
Friday Jan 9 was so musically inspiring with your voices and strings leading the way. The electrified schmoozing afterwards could have gone on forever! Let's make some beautiful music once again for the Kol Shira Erev (Evening) Shabbat service Jan. 30 - no rehearsal for this one, but I'm putting music you may wish to access at the Kol Shira Music Makers' Hub. If the "choir" column has an X, that's a piece you might want to print out / bring with you if you're one who likes to have the sheet music in front of you. Just for your own enrichment / enjoyment, and, through you, that of the congregation.
PAST: Rehearsal for Jan. 9 Service
Those who participated on Dec. 5 really got the energy going and the music flowing, making for a wonderful, prayerful service - let's do it again! At this rehearsal we’ll prepare to lead the congregation in music at the January 9 Service.
