Welcome to the Music Ministry at First United Methodist Church! |
|
We at First United Methodist Church in Burlington feel that quality music is essential to the worship experience. It is our goal to involve as many persons as possible in the music leadership of our church, and use music to make our worship come alive. You will find many varied styles of music, from Bach and the "classics" to Gospel, traditional, contemporary and Praise. Many ages are involved, from children through older adults. Our instruments include a three-manual Austin pipe organ with antiphonal, grand piano, handbells, choir chimes and a Praise Band, along with various other instruments from time to time. |

Choir Our Senior Choir consists of approximately 30 persons starting as young as the first year of High School. We rehearse on Thursday evenings at 7:00 p.m. in the choir room. All styles of music are shared in the Sunday morning worship services. We have taken "contemporary cantatas" on the road, sharing our love of God through music from the Albany, NY area to many local communities in Vermont. We also have three permanent ensembles created from within the choir that sing around the NY/VT area. If you love to sing Christian music, and want to be part of a fun, loving fellowship, we would love to have you join the choir! |

Handbells Our handbell choir, the Hallelujah Handbells, consist of over 4 octaves of Schulmerich bells, rung by 13 players. The bells play in church approximately once a month, including special celebrations such as Christmas and Easter. The handbell choir has performed in several locations across the state, including the Trapp Family Lodge in Stowe. A bell quartet (the Ha-Ha-Ha-Handbells), a duet and two soloists from the handbell choir also play in church during the year. |

Praise Band The Praise Band usually plays at the worship service on the third Sunday of each month. The band consists of two keyboards, bass, percussion, flute, guitars and vocalists. Many styles of music are used, but all played in an uplifting manner. We use a lot of Praise music and Gospel, but tastefully have been known to include rock, boogie and even a bit of country - all in a worshipful manner! |

Cherub Chimers Made up of our church children, the Cherub Chimers play songs on the Choir Chimes during worship service. |
