Kids Choir @ Watts

Stephen has been going to choir this past year and really enjoys it. He moves up to the older kids class next year and they seem to learn a lot about musical theory.

"This tried and proven program will be used with grades 3-5 and comes from the English school the same name. The concept is simple. Singers have a brochure in their choir folder that has a series of goals and lessons to be checked off that include Good Team Work, Theory/Sight Singing, Rehearsal Techniques, Christian Training, and Vocal Production. At the end of rehearsal, each child asks for two of the items that they feel that they have learned to be checked off and continue to do so each week until all items are checked off. When that happens, they receive a medallion with their name engraved and white ribbon that they wear over their choir robe. They then proceed to the Light Blue level, which has harder material. Light Blue is followed by Dark Blue and Red. In addition to the goals and lessons listed above, the program by its design also encourages good attendance."
