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.

 

WHEN: The Preparatory Program is offered in three 8-week sessions. All classes are held on Tuesdays during the school year, 4:30-5:15pm.

Session 1 – September 5 – October 24, 2023

Session 2 – November 7 – 28, 2023 and January 9-30, 2024

Session 3 – February 6 – March 26, 2024 (ending before Spring Break)

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: $99/session or $275/3 sessions; Payment plans are available
