Martin First United Methodist Church - Virtual Choir

The video posted below is what we refer to as a “proof of concept” presentation.  COVID-19 has restricted our singing in worship – but nevertheless, we would like to continue the tradition of offering choral anthems throughout the church year.  This virtual choir will be open to any and all church members who would like to participate.  The virtual anthems can easily be presented in both worship services.  We will train each virtual choir member and offer one-on-one technical assistance to ensure they can easily submit their videos.  We will still offer a weekly rehearsal via Zoom.  There we will make sure everyone is clear on the arrangement of the music and help with voice trainings of each person’s vocal part.  We would like to begin rehearsing in August as we normally would.  That way, anthems can begin appearing in worship right after Labor Day – as such has been our tradition for years and years. We will begin with simple hymns and work our way back into choral anthems so we all can get used to this format.  Anyone interested in enrolling in the virtual choir should submit the form below the video.
