older adults in music ministry
The area of older adults is, and will continue to be, one of growing concern in many areas within the local church. One of these areas is music ministry. Many older adults are actively involved in their church choirs. Other churches are starting choirs specifically for senior adults. The last few years have seen the introduction of seasonal and general musicals written exclusively for senior adult choirs. The seventh book in Abingdon's series of how-to books in various areas of music ministry, And the Song Goes On, is an easy-to-read and easy-to-understand treatment of a concern faced by many local church choir and music directors in their ongoing ministry. This is a valuable resource for any choir director, no matter how many years he or she has served. It will help music directors understand the nuances of the senior adult in terms of their physical and mental needs, their vocal abilities, and more.
