In this introductory tutorial, Mario Sebok, SCPM, MBA, PMP®, walks choir members through the organization of the choir’s shared Google Drive. He explains that the drive contains top‑level folders for the ten Ordinary Sunday liturgy structures, Lenten songs, and closing songs, as well as separate concert folders (e.g., Easter concert, wedding of Misha and Sanka). Within each concert folder are subfolders for music sheets and per‑voice audio recordings (tenor, other voices). For ordinary Sundays, each folder holds the song titles (e.g., “Glory to God, we praise your glorious name”) together with the corresponding sheet music and voice recordings. He demonstrates a concrete example: the Sunday of 16 July, showing a song list with shortcuts linking directly to the sheet and the tenor/other‑voice recordings. The purpose is to help choir members locate scores and recordings efficiently; he invites questions for clarification.

Chapters

Here explaining how the shared folder of the choir is structured. Basically, we have all the 10 structures of Ordinary Sunday Liturgy, Lenten songs, etc., and the closing songs. We'll have outside the concert files, for instance, the Easter concert songs, the wedding of Misha and Sanka songs, and here you will have separated audio Music sheets, so like the music sheets of the concert, the audio of the concert per voice. So you have here concert list songs here with all the concert songs. This is how we have for the concerts, but for the ordinary Sundays, you have here the songs. Glory to God, we praise your glorious name, and each one of these, you'll have the music sheets here and the recordings of tenors and other voices according to their recordings. And inside the Sunday week, you'll have this, uh, this is the Sunday of the 16th of July, the song list, which is basically that list of all the songs that are going to be sung. And the shortcut to the song there with the music sheet and the tenor and the other voice recordings. I hope this makes it clear. Any questions, please let me know.
