Being a chorister at St. James\u2019 is a wonderful way to experience music across the centuries and reinforce faith-based formation in the church<\/b>.<\/p>\n
Choristers learn healthy singing techniques and musicianship skills through fun and varied activities, including Orff instruments, handchimes and handbells.\u00a0 Rehearsal techniques are planned to engage students at age- and developmentally-appropriate levels, incorporating kinesthetic, visual and auditory learning.\u00a0 The age ranges indicated are a starting point for best social and pedagogical results.\u00a0 We know that scheduling can be difficult; and every family and child is different, so please speak to Kenneth Miller if you have any questions.<\/p>\n
We want you involved, and everyone is welcome!<\/b><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][nectar_btn size=”large” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Extra-Color-2″ icon_family=”none” text=”Contact Kenneth Miller for information” url=”mailto:kmiller@stjames.org”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” el_class=”excerpt-row” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_custom_heading text=”Cherub Choir (age 4-6)” font_container=”tag:h6|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_custom_heading text=”Rehearses Tuesdays, 3:45 \u2013 4:15 p.m. from the Playroom” font_container=”tag:h5|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=””][vc_column_text]Children sing for monthly Children\u2019s Eucharist services and learn music basics in an engaging, playful classroom setting.
