1. Play some overtly Christian works. They can speak for themselves.
2. Be discriminating in repertoire choice. Ask yourself "Why would I perform/write this work?"
3. If your teacher or colleague asks about your ideas about a piece, and your ideas involve spiritual things, tell the truth. This can be an opportunity to share how the piece fits into your worldview. Sometimes teachers will pick up the ball at this point and create a spiritual program of their own for your music.
4. If faith plays a major role in how you make your decisions, be honest about it when teachers and colleagues ask.
5. In teaching, you can sometimes use pieces with Christian texts.
6. As a student, you can ask for teachers to comment on the meaning of texts and their relation to the music. In this way, you can be a spiritualizing influence.
7. Program notes or spoken words can explain the spiritual implications of music.
8. Play "worship encores" to calm the audience and refocus them on daily life, sobriety, and humility. A worship encore would be something simple that one can play humbly and worshipfully.
9. "Evil" music can sometimes point to God in a negative way. Notice how evil ideas are worked out in pieces. Often pieces can be seen as a critique of the evil to which they seem to refer. Some may collapse under the weight of their own evil. Some may define God by showing what He is not. Re-cast ideas and qualities of works. Exs. Glenn Gould purifying and abstracting Mozart, or re-envisioning Wagner's Liebestod as a portrait of divine, sacrificial love.
10. Find ways to refer to your faith in your bio.
11. Work hard and do good work. Do your work as unto Christ.
12. Do your work with joy, peace, and patience, not with worry.
13. Look for opportunities to pray with people when you perform together.
