All Rosary Makers

The first calling came to me sometime in late 1990's.  I returned to singing in a choir after many  years.  One day, as I was sitting in the choir section, I looked ahead of me.  My eyes fell upon the cantor stand and I felt a strong calling to sing as a cantor.

Shortly after that, I moved to another state with my family.  The sense of calling to cantor had remained with me, stronger and stronger each day.  So, one day, I told our choir director that I would like to practice and learn to be a cantor.  He spent sometime with me going over the music.  I realized there was so much more I needed to know before I could start on my journey as a cantor.

In order for me to feel sure that I could do this, I took singing lessons from a conservatory.  Later, more private lesson from a voice teachers.  To help with my singing and to understand my music better, and of course, for my passion, I took piano lessons.  I continued both singing and piano lessons, both once a week, each a one hour private lesson. 

At this time, I am very grateful.  I realize, all these different churches, choirs, directors, even singing in Spanish for ten years with our Spanish choir, and singing in different churches, I have built a strong base.  To some great musicians, they might laugh at my thoughts.  But you know, none of us came to this world equipped with the instruments that all the musicians play, except for one: Our Voice.  

My Journey to sing continues here.  It started sometime ago, and I don't even know where, but I know the calling to sing for the Lord has been with me even before I knew it.

Praise God.
