Just one more thing TMom, then I'll stop hijacking this thread! :lol: My dd feels that's her ministry too, at least part of it. She actually came to me over this summer and asked if she could take voice instead of violin. She said she feels that God gave her that gift and that she should use it for Him! WOW, how could I say no to THAT?!
wow, you have a point there... that is why I was looking into piano because I know that helps singers to get the right notes, if they know piano... at least that is what Mrs Scoppa told us in Mrs Scoppa's Choir ( Van.BC)
I believe with all my heart that piano is the best way to give a well-rounded base in music education. It teaches chords and music theory better than any other instrument, IMHO.
