The first time I sang in the church choir; two hundred people changed their religion.
It is my belief that everything you need to know about the world can be learned in a church choir.
I only sing in my church choir. Except the other night, I stole the show at karaoke night.
The singing of hymns and the rendition of selections from the great sacred oratorios by ward choirs all enhance the spirit of worship.
When I was growing up, I'd be in the choir. My mum was the organist in the church, so I'd sing in the church.
I was never interested in singing in the church or school. I was more interested in becoming a musician.
My mother was truly my saving grace, because she would take me to church with her. I would see my mother smiling in the choir, and I wanted to know this God that made her so happy. If I had not had that faith in my life, I don't know where I would be right now.
I used to sing in the church choir. People would say it was unusual for such a small girl to have such a big voice. They would say, 'She sounds like she's grown.'
I began with dance, doing ballet at 3, then tap, jazz, modern. Then I sang in church choirs, learned how to play clarinet and drums, sang with rock bands and only then did I get into musical theatre.
The choir always tittered and whispered all through the service. There was once a church choir that was not ill-bred, but I have forgotten where it was.
I was in a church choir early on and that really helped me musically in terms of chops, learning how to sing harmonies.
