The Choir of Boys and Girls

This group of youth, third grade and up, meets weekly and practices the craft of singing. Using the Royal School of Church Music's Voices for Life chorister training program, members of the Boy and Girl Choir develop a strong foundation in music and spirituality.

Singing in a good choir is much more than a typical after-school activity. It is an exceptional educational opportunity, and can be an essential part of a child's learning and development. Musicianship skills are extraordinarily important for today's children. A 2007 Reuters Poll shows us that 88% of all post-graduate students in college and 83% of all people earning $150,000 or more had extensive music training.

Children may enter the choir at any time. No prior training or experience is expected of prospective choristers. Apart from minor incidentals relating to travel or social events, there is no tuition cost expected of parents, unlike many comparable children's choirs. The Boy and Girl Choir rehearsal on Thursdays from 4:30-5:45 and sings twice per month in services.
