The NUS website is not helpful at all in explaining the whole modules and bidding thing. all i know so far is the scraps from conversations here and there. in the end i got a more or less general description from an undergrad who doesnt know what she wants to major in. i think its causing a major headache haha...

When Matt Redman's church worship team started to get a little carried away, the pastor pulled out the sound system and suspended the team. and so they sang a capella. and after much soul searching came the song Heart of Worship. so i guess the heart is very important. technical excellence is just as important. not an ounce more, not an ounce less. in gp, we were taught to define the key words. so what is "heart"? what is "technical excellence"? if we strive for musical excellence, does it mean forcing the guitarist to learn how to read music notes? how do you define having a "heart for worship"?

so therefore, i think the whole argument is about which one comes first. must we get our hearts and lives sorted out with God first before it creates a desire within to produce technical excellence? or must the music be good before the spirit can move to change the hearts and lives of people? i really cant answer this. we always assume that whatever takes place first is immediately regarded as the most important. but if that were the case, then man would be behind the plants and the oceans and stars because we were created last. i think the most important is the "after-effects". on the seventh day, God took a rest. man was given the freedom to enjoy creation. and thats what worship should be at the end of it all. we must enjoy the worship that was created.
