Ward Choir Director

So you totally don't need to do this as a choir director, but if you want to give it a try, you might try recording audio tracks for each part. I think that can really help the choir to learn their part soprano, alto, tenor, bass, especially if you're doing a more difficult or unfamiliar piece. Not that you need to do unfamiliar pieces, you can totally just stick with the hymnal. There's also a resource, this is kind of a paid resource, so you probably wouldn't want to do this for your calling, but I think there's a website called Choral Tracks, and there's probably multiple websites that do this, but where you can basically just pay a fee of maybe $20 or $50 or something for a song and get high quality audio recordings of voices singing each of the parts, and that can be kind of a nice resource. But like I said, not necessary to do, but kind of a fun resource to look into.

You know, if you are tasked with coming up with some sort of a musical program and you're not sure what songs to do or what order to do or what wording to put in between songs or anything like that, AI is an incredibly useful tool. You could go on, you know, ChatGPT for free and you don't even have to log in and you could just be like, you know, give me a sacrament meeting program layout with, you know, songs and readings in between the songs, you know, along this theme, pulling from our official church hymnal and songs for church and family or church and home. And, you know, AI could probably do that very, very quickly. You could then just prompt it and really polish it to be exactly what you're wanting. So that can definitely help if you need any brainstorming ideas for what songs to do.
