Youth Choir
2006-2007 |
|
| |
| |
We
would like to invite your child to consider singing in the UUCW
Youth Choir. Music can be a powerful influence for good in our
lives - and something that each child should have an opportunity
to experience firsthand. In addition, the spirit of teamwork
and collaboration that comes from being a part of a choir working
together to create beautiful music can enhance other aspects of
your child's life. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Who can
sing in the Youth Choir? |
|
| |
| |
We
invite children and youth Grade 2 and older to join the Youth
Choirs. As children near adulthood, we encourage them to
join and sing with the Adult Choir as well. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Does
you child need to know how to read music? |
| |
| |
No,
the ability to read music is not a requirement to become a choir
member. In fact, during rehearsals, two goads will be to
help your children learn how to read music, and to help
them become more confident and accomplished singers. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
When
and where will the Youth Choir rehearse? |
| |
| |
This
year, the Youth Choir will rehearse Monday afternoons from 4:30 -
5:30 p.m. We do not rehearse Mondays that are federal
holidays. We also rehearse Sunday mornings when the Youth
Choir sings during the service. We'll rehearse in the
church-though the room may changes from time to time. We'll
post a sign at the RE entrance to let you know the room. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
When
do rehearsals being? |
| |
| |
Our
first rehearsal is Monday, October 16 at 4:30 p.m. - and each
choir member will get an information sheet that includes full
schedule of the rehearsals planned for the year. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
How
often will the Youth Choir sing as a part of the Sunday services? |
| |
| |
The
Youth Choir will sing between three and five times during this
year. We will include singing at two special services in our
church: the Interfaith Thanksgiving Service on Sunday November 19
and 3 p.m. and the Vespers Service which will be held Sunday
December 17 at 4 p.m. Please check the web site calendar for
dates. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
What
will the Youth Choir sing? |
| |
| |
Our
repertoire will be centered around the UU Children's Song Book
- a wonderful compilation of songs appropriate for children at
several skill levels. In addition, we will sing other
selected pieces on our own and with the Adult Choir. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
What
can I do to help? |
| |
| |
First
and foremost, help your child attend rehearsals regularly.
Second, please come to performances of the choir. Third, if
you are a musician, we could use your help teaching kids basic
concepts on a two-to-one basis as we deal with children who are
starting with different skills. Please let me know if you
are interested in helping in this way. Finally, sign up to
be the second adult in the room during choir rehearsals.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about the
Youth Choir and its plans. |
