Youth and adult choir members come in a variety of sizes, shapes, temperaments, and "musical smart."  Their motivations for participating may be spiritual, musical, social, or a combination thereof.  The choir director's task is to confront these varied personalities, backgrounds, and motivations with rehearsal and performance experiences that are meaningful and satisfying to all.  What an intimidating task!  This book is an effort to provide suggestions for accomplishing that task.

This book is used as the text book for course MU-478 Church Music Practicum 1.
