The role of a music coordinator is to act as a mentor and leader to guide and lead the group in all music related aspects of COSDU in the course of his/her duty. It is his/her responsibility to prepare appropriate songs/hymns for Mass as well as for praise and worship sessions. The Music Coordinator will get the readings from the Liturgy Coordinator to aid in his/her preparation for songs/hymns choices.
Having a good leadership quality is essential and imperative to achieve group cohesion, unity and control. The primary role is to lead and be in control of situations at all times. In order to gain a successful and fruitful practice session, early planning and preparation for each session and giving sufficient notice to musicians and singers for practice dates are compulsory. He/she also needs to arrange and organise reasonable number and duration of practices to ensure a smooth flow of deliverance for the events. He/she will aim to encourage more members to be part of the music group. In accordance to that goal, it is the duty of the music coordinator to teach and guide the musicians in the style of performance and playing.
Music coordinator also needs to fuse authority with musicians’ views. It is necessary to create a safe and friendly environment for members to voice their comments and ideas, in a constructive and respectful manner. Feedbacks will be taken into consideration and new ideas explored. Upon deliberation, the music coordinator, bearing the role of a leader, will emerge with a final decision.
Music coordinator also acts as a facilitator to members in the group. He/she needs to nurture members’ interest in music and strive to build members’ self esteem and confidence in performance. By providing a supportive, motivating and a stable framework, it will encourage members’ ownership of performance and an increased level of group commitment.
The music sessions should be one that aims to be people friendly, fun and enjoyable for everyone to attend and bond. It should be an avenue where members come to bond and build upon stronger relationships with one another and to grow in faith and love together.
