Children's Choir – New Participants (ages ≈ 7-13)

"*" indicates required fields

Eligibility:
● We are interested in children who want to sing and want to sing well, and have a reasonable ability or promise to do so (should a child need remediation, we’ll be glad to assist, but in a separate arena).
◦ They have sufficient attention span to work reasonably well through long rehearsals and concerts (see schedule).
◦ Students are expected to fully master all music presented, and to do so as soon as possible. This will involve home practice with sound tracks (provided as online links, etc.).
● Attendance is a priority in order to receive the full benefits of children's choir. If your child cannot be present for one full rehearsal, please consider withholding participation for this cycle and/or contact the conductor for assistance with the decision. Decisions will be made on a case by case basis. Rehearsal dates can be found on the schedule page.
● Children need to be able to understand and quickly take instruction about singing, diction, and vocabulary (younger students many need a bit of help to fully grasp instruction, but it should be minimal). Experience or training are not specifically required.
● Age: we are not setting firm age limits, though expect most singers will be in the 7-13 range, after which singers will be in the Youth Choir. The criteria mentioned previously are the governing concerns, not age.
● We would need to individually evaluate interested boys whose voices have started to change.
● We ask that at least one parent OR guardian be present the entire duration of any extended function such as the weekend rehearsals or programs.
