for Our Lady or Mount Cannel Church.
'It take up a lot of time," she said of the choir. Menibers vis-
it hospitals to entertain as well as singing at special functions
such as weddings and Christmas events.
Muller has always been interested in music and encourages
young people to take on a more active role in music rather
than just listening to it.
She also s tic to success of the choir is due to the dedica-
tion and hard work of all the members.
"I have an enthusiastic and committed choir. That makes
my job easier, " she said.
