Junior Choir News

A Big thank you!

A big thank you to all Junior Choir members for all of your hard work so far! We have done some pretty challenging music already with more to come. Since our return in January, we have not only continued our work on upcoming psalms, but also our pieces for Tenebrae and our joint concert with St. Michael’s which is coming up right after Easter. We need to start these early, as Tenebrae and that concert will be here sooner than we think! 

The past month has also provided us the opportunity to continue practicing our music reading skills as our musicianship continues to develop. We have to make sure we are always practicing and developing these skills, as it is the only way it is possible for us to continue learning as much music as we are able. It is my intention that each time we pick up a new piece of music, the Junior Choir members find it slightly easier to read and understand than the last piece of music. I am also grateful for so much great leadership from older, more experienced members. Every year, as their experience and education grows, they progress from learners that are looking to other members of the choir to help them out, to those with the most experience where they then get to practice leading others in their learning. 

Thank you for your support, parents and family members! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me, [email protected] at any time!
