Free Music Training

Did you ever want to learn more about the piano or organ? Do you ever wish you could conduct music. You can learn more about all these items and more at the upcoming Music Training May 14th from 9:30-12 at the Coal Mountain GA Stake Center of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

This is an opportunity to grow in skill and wisdom to be of better service in the Lord’s Kingdom. Trained and skilled musicians will be available that morning to teach and guide.

When Moses called for help in construction of the tabernacle, those with wise and willing hearts stepped up and volunteered. They had developed themselves and their skills before the call. Music functions in the same way. We learn and practice, then learn more and practice more so we can step up when the call and need arise.

The training session titled “Something All Can Give” comes from the primary song “Give Said the Little Stream”. In our hearts we can all sing the refrain “Give oh give away”.

We have planned classes but they are flexible and we will help anyone with other music needs or questions: The classes are as follows:

  • Music Coordinator as Detective & Other Job Descriptions
  • No More Fear – Introduction to Organ and Piano
  • Before the Meeting – Prayerful, Planned Preludes
  • Singing Again and the Post Pandemic Choir 
  • Expanding Your Music Library: Resources & Examples
  • Open Discussion About Church Music with Q&A
  • Demo of ‘Other’ Instruments & Their Use

Let us know if you have special needs and that you are coming. Email coalstakemusic@gmail.com

Singing the Song of Redeeming Love

Twice in Alma 5, Alma mentions ‘singing the song of redeeming love’ (verses 9, 26).

Whether or not Alma sang in the Zarahemla Tabernacle choir, he did know what it meant to sing as his soul sang with joy and goodness on many occaisons.

But what about our lives? Maybe we praise God, not just in singing, but in how we live. Choir directors will instruct their choir to sing the songs so that our testimonies shine through. Choir members sing their testimony, not only in their musical presentation but in their lives.

There was a young girl many years ago who was involved in a high school speech contest. For those not attending the contest, later that day she gave a second rendition of her perfectly memorized speech all about avoiding pre-marital relations. She proceeded to laugh about how she did not really believe that message but that she was able to convince the judges she did. She, unfortunately, did not live her life true to the ‘testimony/speech’ she bore that day.

Alma, though, lived the life, walked the walk and dedicated his life to those things he testified of. Even later, in his recounting of his conversion to his son Helaman (Alma 36:22), he spoke again of angels singing and praising their God and longing to be with them. He wanted to be in the choir!!! Was that the ‘song of redeeming love’ he referred to in Chapter 5?

Do we “Sing the Song of Redeeming Love” each day in our lives by the way we live?
