Hello

I am looking, again, to join a group of ATB people who like to sing and socialise - I am a soprano.

I love all kinds of music from early english to classical/baroque and everything else!

I am passionate about music - I love to hear my own voice ... I am interested in working with composers and singing with composers
I am able to sing in Early English style or baroque/classical style
I would love to compose something not unlike a Haydn Mass ....

seriously, i love the harmonies ...

Hi there,
The Priory Choir I joined will 'rest' during the summer months

I am looking for ATB singers, early music instrumentalists to join and sing for friendship and to practice early music - praising God of course.

My parish comes under Liverpool Archidocese, but I live in Lancashire area!

I am a beginner - I have not composed anything before (not professionally, but I studied an Open University Music Course in the mid 1990s and composed two pieces of music - one in the style of Mozart and one in the style of JS Bach - I couldn't remember how to do this now) - I wanted to set the ...

Nick, Perhaps little notes should be put on the pews ... with a big notice on the door as you go in

Please note, this is a Holy Place and we would ask you to respect the prayer environment for other people.

Please do not smoke, drink, or eat at any time
also please respect the meaning of the ...

Thanks v. much - I have now got a copy of Michael Aarons Adult Piano Course - my young son is using Book 1 by F. Waterman and Marion Harewood.

Someone recently told me to play a new piece of music each day.

I have been given a beautiful upright piano -

Mornington & Weston, London

and it's beautiful ...

I want to relearn to play - in order that I may help out at Mass in the future - how many hours of practice do you recommend?
Do you recommend any tutor books? I last played properly over 20 ...

Thanks to everyone to sent messages - private and otherwise.

I am joining a Church Choir - thanks to the wonders of science - this forum - I was contacted by a person who took a risk and invited me to join.

Thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

God Bless

P.S. I may even have an opportunity to sing ...

Hi there

I notice you have a summer school.

Can I inform readers of other happenings?

Nick B will be one of the talkers at the Living Theology Summer School - 23 - 27 July - Hope University, Everton, Liverpool.

Where there are two or more gathered in my name ...

The main thing is that God knows the intentions ...

Yes, Merseysider, I have changed my location - to Lancashire

I do belong to NWEMF but sadly have not been to many workshops - I lead a kind of solitary but busy life. I think I have mentioned elsewhere that I like to sing - early music is also a favourite of mine too ... my heroine is Emma ...

My goodness - what politics!

I thought I was in shaky circumstances but this sounds very very scary.

I hope God intervened and sorted people out.

It's just not fair on dedicated people like yourself - imagine if you had a tantrum and refused to play the organ.

Ahhhh - I remember my Easter Candle holder catching fire -
there I was - singing my heart out - when I happened to glance up from my hymnbook and see flames about 7 inches high - I was so astonished I fell back slightly gave a sharp scream and my stiletto heel got stuck in between the wooden beams ...

I think I would like to come to the Summer School - probably in 2008 - I'll have to start saving straight after Christmas. Yes, I have decided to become a member of the SSG - you have wonderful things happening.

This year I am going to Walsingham for a week - looking forward to that too.

I would lurve to tape/record hymns/worship music - but then - I am not an instrumentalist and would need music to accompany me! It is also nice to sing with another singer to harmonize etc.

I have been wondering where do I exactly fit in - I want to take my music seriously - I want to praise God ...
