Classes & Lessons
The Song School offers weekly choral rehearsals, group theory and aural skills classes, as well as private singing, piano, and organ lessons. Flexible pricing is also available so that no prospective student is left behind.
Junior Choir
Tuesdays 6-7pm
Open to students between ages the 6 to 14. This weekly hour-long rehearsal focuses on age-appropriate vocal warm-ups and music drawn from solo voice repertoire, ranging from Baroque to more contemporary jazzy numbers. Performance opportunities for the Junior Choir include church services, the Kiwanis Music Festival and a Closing Concert that takes place in June. The Junior Choir cultivates enthusiasm, supportive listening, self confidence, and empathy for one other.
Advanced Choral Tutorial
Thursdays 7-9pm
Open to students between the ages 14 to 18. In this 2-hour rehearsal, students will learn to sing liturgical repertoire drawn from the canon of traditional liturgical choral music: Gregorian Chant, sung with Medieval Square Notation; polyphonic music of the Renaissance; a wide range of 18th-21st century sacred choral repertoire. The Advance Choral Tutorial is a bridge between the Junior Choir and Adult Choir, though more fundamentally, is intended to refine and deepen the student's skill level.
Musicianship Classes
TBA
Recommended for all students, this hour-long group class is offered on a weekly basis through graded written theory assignments, supervised on an individual basis. This class is intended to build upon the musical skills developed in Junior Choir. Class learning will be restful and disciplined, with a good measure of fun and enjoyment.
Students may wish to enroll in one-on-one instruction in piano, voice and/or organ. Private lessons provide an excellent opportunity to hone in on individual abilities and interests, developing their technique and understanding of the chosen discipline, while working at their own pace. Through private lessons, students can explore a breadth of repertoire, opening to them both freedom and confidence as they pursue their individual interests and passions.
