   * Get Nap's piano proficiency up in preparation for future projects.
-To these ends, we will meet in the Wesley Chapel downstairs (Fitting!) which has a better-maintained piano.
+We will meet in the Lee-Spratt room since the piano there is better. We just have to close the big doors to the hallway and leave the door near the elevator open for people to come in; otherwise too much sound carries between us and the sanctuary.

 The first will be introductory and maybe we just do one hymn in order to make extra time to explain the intention and design of the series.

 The idea that I want to drive home is that there isn't a "right" or "wrong" part to the music. For you as an individual, there may be right and wrong parts to sing, but that's an individual thing. The idea that a group singing together, multiple different parts, and all of them are correct, is a revolutionary idea. I have believed for a long time that there is a close connection between polyphonic music and the Protestant reformation. I also believe that this promise has not been fully realized. Even though basically the whole Christian world sings music in harmony, the significance of harmony hasn't sunk in for a lot of people, and they insist that everyone do the same things, have the same things, and be the same ways.
