This blog is made especially for a small group of choir in small parishes who do not have a Trainor or music teacher. Hope this will help you guys as we serve God in the Holy Eucharist through singing. You may share the link of the YouTube videos to your fellow choir for a practice in their own time and gather once, for a final practice. Many thanks.
