Important

There are mainly 3 major things that we're gonna do,

1) Worship Nite
2) Music Month
3) Serve once/2 months at 12:30pm service

All of the above are self-voluntary, so if you think you can't or don't have the calling to do any of the above 3, please tell me in advance ya?

Also, we'll be having a small Psalmists meeting this sunday (22nd April). We will mainly talk about our problems encountered, our role, instruments improvisations, the ppl who don't wanna serve in any of the 3 things we're doing, etc. The meeting will be held after 12:30 service, I hope all band members (only) can make it.

As for this saturday (21st April), I'm thinking of having a free-for-all jamming session instead. We can jam any songs we like, not restricted to any genre. But I need to see if the majority can make it anot. (Suggested by Lim) However, make sure you keep 28th April free, I hope to have another serious session there.

Please take note of all these and msg me regarding the required.

Juz a brief reminder for the previous post, this sat (14th April) at alvron studios. The time has been changed to 2pm - 4pm, so please take note. Also, we will start to prepare songs for worship nite. Some songs have been chosen by me but is yet to be validated with the rest of the WN commitee. For WN, Quan Mei will tentatively be the keyboardist and Lee Wei will be the vocalist. I may invite one more keyboardist in the time to come for WN. If I'm not wrong, Preacher Willy will also be coming down the studio. So this sat will be kinda important, therefore try to be 10 mins earlier or something.

As for the vocal lessons, only 2 person are interested. I'll make the date line 1st June. So around 2 months for you to decide.

14th April & a few things

Guys, please make sure that you keep 14th april free as it will be one of the more important jamming sessions and we will be discussing about worship nite songs also. I've scrapped the previous song for presentation already, I think Stained Glass Masquerade by Casting Crows will be better since the vocal range is not as tough. I've made my own custom scores for it with the original key and everything, so this time it won't go wrong. I've sent the soft copy to some of the members ytd who was online on msn.

Finally, many of us had agreed on our band name "The Psalmists" so we'll stick on that. The logo design if you got any ideas can send it to me or isaac wong as he will be doing the design. There won't be any jamming this week though. If possible, try to make all sats 2 to 4pm free so that I can set a standard jamming timetable where everyone could make it.

For the vocalists, after a few more sessions and if you wanna attend vocal lessons, please tell me asap, cos I wanna discuss the tenor part of some songs.

14th april (sat), 1pm to 4pm, try to keep this timing free. May God bless!

The teachers there are quite good and I've seen the vocalist produced there before, the quality not bad. Faster sign up! Vocal training good for everyone!

No Jamming This Week

Guys, I guess you have all received my sms; there's no jamming this week coz I got something on. Meanwhile, I think we ought to improve our instruments quality. Maybe you can try going online for extra resources or go for some classes if you think you need. If there is nothing on, we will be having jamming next week.

Our jamming team will be in-charge of the music night event this year too and also will be performing one song on the music month service(dec). So we have to prepare songs for both ya? As for the service performance in dec, I am thinking of performing "Jesus take the wheel" by Carrie Underwood. I may be recruiting another vocalist and keyboardist for that. Meantime, we should concentrate on the music night, for that after the songs were selected we may jam more often if needed.

That's all, God bless!
