The job of a choir leader is not easy. You must tidy the music room, sweep the floor and buy ribbons and lemons among other things.
It is hard work, but I enjoy it. The responsibilities, such as taking the roll call, have proved a great experience.
The first time I was a conductor was in Form Four. Being a conductor is like being a magician. When you raise your hands, the choir girls take a deep breath. When you conduct with power, the girls sing with energy. It is amazing and gives you a great sense of satisfaction.
In 1998, I conducted the 90-member Junior Choir. In 1999, I conducted the Christmas carols at the Regent Hotel and Regal Airport Hotel.
Taking the roll call is my main responsibility as choir leader. I know the name of all the choir members.
The job gives me the opportunity to make a lot of new friends, both older and younger than myself. It is wonderful to have so many friends.
