A practical guide for the beginner. A resource of tips and ideas for the experienced song leader. Answers a host of questions -- -- How do I select an appropriate song? -- Can I keep the group I'm leading in rhythm and on tempo? -- What if I'm nervous? -- How important is beating with my hand? -- May I copy a song from a copyrighted collection so I don't have to buy a whole book? -- How can I make singing come alive in my church, whether it's traditional or contemporary? -- Includes a selection of observations by musicians Kenneth Nafziger, Philip Clemens, and Wilbur Miller. Since 1970 Lehman has held positions in church music leadership including organist, choir director, consultant, and arranger. Lehman has founded several music groups: in 1978 the Lancaster (Pennsylvania) Chamber Singers; in 1987 the Table Singers, a choir which explores 20th century Mennonite singing styles and hymnals. Most recently he founded the Foresingers, an ensemble of singers and instrumentalists which specialize in 16th-18th century Mennonite music. Glenn Lehman lives with his wife, Dorcas, and their two children in Leola, Pennsylvania. He is the executive director of Harmonies Workshop, a nonprofit music organization, which helped support the writing of this book.
