Kent agreed to join church choir as long as I went to his basketball games. I thought it was a great deal and it made me so happy to go to the front with him today and sing for our ward.
After sacrament meeting, the piano player came to us and asked us to sing in a little choir for the Ward Christmas Party this coming Friday. We went to the rehearsal this evening at a member's house. Kent is a tenor, but has never been taught how to sing, so he sings the melody usually. Tonight he asked for some help.
All those years of piano, choir and band payed of for this one night. I was able to help my husband learn notes and the basics of reading and singing music. It helped me (and him) humble ourselves to learn and receive help from one another. That one hour of singing the same tenor line over and over was one of the greatest musical moments I've ever had. He's not perfect, but he is more confident in singing and reading the notes. After we were done he thanked me and I was so proud of him.
One of his goals is to sing in Sacrament meeting with me. It might take a while, but we will do it someday.
