yes...depending on the complexity of the line.

both, but I would have to say more by ear

yes definitly

yes

most of the time

this is a little more complex. I do, but would not want to without God's
direction. That is to say, I would not try to harmonize, or adlib for
the sake of making "good music".

No.... who would sing? NOt allof us have the luxury of large
congregations with big talent pools. We have 20+ worship team members,
not bad for a church of less than 100, members and nonmembers.
