| Gentle Singer: Congratulations on your eagerness to learn new tunes. My dear, until you can sing the notes on all the songs and keep time with your hand, please sit behind the front row of your section. You will hear your part well enough to learn new songs from there, and the class will benefit from having the more experienced singers on the front benches. For there is a synergy -- something greater than the sum of the individual pieces -- that happens to a class when all four front benches have strong experienced singers thereon. It's something that doesn't happen when the strong singers are scattered about with still-learning singers on the front. |
