Children's Choir

Register for Children's Choir!

This registration form is for all new and returning Children's Choir members who have auditioned and been accepted for the 2009-2010 season.

The Gordon College Department of Music is pleased to announce the tenth season of the Gordon College Children’s Choir. In the 2009-2010 school year Gordon will offer a choral curriculum appropriate for students in first grade up through high school seniors.

Young singers may participate in the Lyric Choir for beginning musicians, Concert Choir for more experienced singers and Chorale (in a partnership between NYSO and Gordon) for high school singers.  Ensembles are open to students who have a desire to make music through the singing of high quality choral literature.  Students will learn how to produce a healthy sound through proper vocal technique, how to improve both individual and group musicianship as well as begin to develop the tools necessary for sight reading.  By working toward the performance of a concert, students will experience the excitement and joy of the choral art.                 
       
The Children’s Choir season runs from September through April with weekly rehearsals.  Rehearsals for grades 1-8 will take place in Phillips Music Center on Monday afternoons.  Though ages are a guideline, the Lyric Choir (grades 1-3) will meet from 4:30-5:30 p.m. while the Concert Choir (grades 4-8) will rehearse from 5:00-6:30 p.m. Rehearsals for Chorale (grades 9-12) will occur Wednesdays from 5:30-7:00 p.m. in Phillips Music Center. Students will have the opportunity to sing and learn alongside college mentors as Chorale represents the new partnership between the college and NYSO Chorale (Northshore Youth Symphony Orchestra Chorale). Tuition for the Lyric and Concert Choir is $375 for the year ($225 for siblings).  There are scholarships available and special rates for Gordon College and Gordon-Conwell faculty/staff and alumni.  

NYSO Chorale Fees may be found at nysoorchestra.org. Please come join us for an exciting time making music together!  Auditions will be held throughout the summer and early fall.
