Chorister Program
Saint Luke’s Children’s Choirs
Our music program, affiliated with the Royal School of Church Music in America, provides young singers with age-appropriate vocal training, superior music education, community building skills, excellent Christian education, and unique performance and travel opportunities.
Our young choristers in the Saint Nicholas, Saint Cecilia, and Saint Gregory Choirs rehearse weekly and sing regularly in Church. They are also paid stipends based on merit while they study the RSCM’s Voice for Life training curriculum. There is a small music/equipment fee for students to participate. If these fees produce any kind of hardship on families, scholarships are available through Friends of Music.
Saint Nicholas Choir
Thursdays, 4:45 – 5:30 PM
The Saint Nicholas Choir (age 5 by Jan. 1 – 2nd grade) welcomes our youngest boys and girls, introducing basic singing and musical concepts in a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. Choir includes drumming sessions that introduce rhythm and movement as well as music theory, and hand chime instruments provide opportunities to read music, compose music, and reinforce concepts of pitch and melody.
Saint Cecilia Choir
Thursdays, 5:30 – 6:30 PM
The Saint Cecilia Choir (grades 3 – 5) offers members an opportunity to develop teamwork and leadership skills while exploring vocal technique, music theory, Christian formation and community building. This choir follows the curriculum of the Royal School of Church Music, and also offers unique travel and touring opportunities. Drumming sessions explore intricate rhythms and music theory; our hand chimes and newly restored hand bells provide opportunities to read music, compose, continue the concepts of pitch and melody, and perform as a group on the highest quality instruments of their kind.
Saint Gregory Choir
Thursdays, 7:00 – 8:00 PM
The Saint Gregory Choir (grades 6 – high school) invites our older and more advanced choristers to further their musical studies in more comprehensive rehearsals.
