Preparatory Class

The Preparatory Class is designed for younger students, 6-7 years old, with little to no choral experience. Directed by a master music educator, children learn the basics of being in a choir without the pressure of performance. Singers learn rehearsal etiquette and the foundations of singing in a relaxed and fun atmosphere. No placement session is required. Rehearsals begin after Labor Day.

The Preparatory Program is offered in three 8-week sessions.

WHERE:

Classes meet at Holy Cross Lutheran School, 3425 Crescent Avenue

PERFORMANCES:

Singers in the program give an informal concert for parents at the end of the 8-week session.

COST:

$103/session or $285/3 sessions; Payment plans are available
