When my first child began 6th grade band, we went to his first concert-- and our first school concert too. The teacher came out, raised his arm, and the 2 dozen children began playing with energy-- especially the violinists. The teacher lowered his arm... and the audience of parents CLAPPED.
In my 2nd month of going to recording studios, I played the guitar track for a song that had no other instruments besides my producer playing drums. ONLY WHEN we went back the following week to add my live bass track did we realize -- My guitar had been tuned 1/2 step too low. Every note was OK with EACH OTHER.... but not with any other instruments to come.
Both are good PARABLES > Each musician is responsible for keeping in tune his or her own flute, oboe, horn, guitar, bass, violin, cello.... etc... JUST ONE instrument whose notes are 1/2 step off everyone else's can RUIN the loveliness of the music.
BUT .... REMINDER >>
ONLY a Church is able to ensure its piano has been correctly tuned. No one else has any control other than to reject future invitations to use their talents at that church. And LEAVE.
.... So also: Only church leadership can ensure its leaders are IN TUNE WITH GOD'S SCRIPTURES.
AND THEN the leaders must do what God entrusted to them-- to ensure the congregation is IN TUNE WITH GOD'S SCRIPTURES...
If anyone FAILS to do so... even one.... Pain follows.
After awhile, if leaders refuse to prayerfully do so, members who find that their cries to "Just get in tune!" are ignored will.... sadly.... leave to take their talents to another congregation.
Much joy to you in growing your music! - DdO:)
