Core Values
Membership in the Nashville Singers and the following core values are intertwined:
- Singing - We love to sing. Through singing, we provide opportunities for personal expression, spread joy in performance, and enrich our lives and the lives of others.
- Fellowship - We foster rich relationships. We are committed to inclusive and respectful relationships based on integrity, trust and reputation. Our companionship cultivates lasting friendships and a sense of belonging. Collaboration on common interests bonds people of diverse interests and backgrounds.
- Fun - We have fun. We sing for the sheer enjoyment of it. Singing is accompanied by laughter, camaraderie, and the happiness of sharing the magic of a great performance.
- Enrichment - We seek personal growth and enrichment through singing. Education permeates all that we do. We promote skills in performance, interpersonal relationships, leadership, evaluation, collaboration and administration. A culture of lifelong learning encourages members to continually seek personal growth.
- Creativity - We embrace and celebrate creativity. We create sound from silence. In that act of creativity, we bring forth beauty, hope, joy and other artistic expressions. As performers we experience the exhilaration of delivering a powerful message through exceptional performances. We deliver these results to our audiences who, in turn, undergo their own emotional uplifting. A powerful core of creation inspires us to honor the art of song in everything we do.
Achieving this “Vision and Mission” will require the full commitment and dedication of every member. Each individual singer is expected to be a “team player” with a positive attitude that is focused on quality improvement. This focus must occur both during and outside of rehearsals to improve one’s vocal and visual performing abilities and to accomplish assigned non-singing job(s).
