Some things a Ward Choir director should consider.

Some important things to look for in Ward choir music

1. Ward choirs and accompanists not professionals, so the music needs to be within the abilities of amateurs and volunteers.
2. Ward choirs usually only have from 10 to 20 singers so the music should not divide into more than four parts.
3. A ward choir is lucky to get 45 minutes to an hour of practice once a week, so the music should be easy to learn but still interesting.
4. Hymns and hymn arrangements are especially appropriate since ward choirs perform almost exclusively in Sacrament meeting.
