Children's Choir

Grades 1-6

Rehearsal Schedule: Sunday mornings (8:00 or 11:10 service hour, September-May)
Rehearsal Rooms: Room C208, C210, and C211/213

This group helps to lead worship on Sunday mornings throughout the season, including Palm Sunday and Mother's Day. Highlights of the year include singing in the Christmas programs in December, opportunities to present musical gifts and talents to peers for the purpose of growth and encouragement, and preparing to lead worship during our end of year program in June. Our primary focus is on glorifying God through the gift of music, both vocally and with a variety of instruments. Throughout the choir season, students will move through rotations, utilizing bucket drums in the “Rhythm Room” to learn basic rhythm and notation, ukuleles and lead sheets in the “Chord Corner,” and their voices in the “Vocal Village” studying melody and harmony as well as many vocal exercises to support good singing through proper breathing and posture.  In addition to music preparation, we utilize a variety of games and activities to create a fun learning environment. We also set aside time to look into God’s Word to learn about why we worship Him.

Youth Choir

Grades 7-12

Rehearsal Schedule: Wednesdays (5:45-6:45pm)
Rehearsal Room: Adult Choir/Seminar Room

This group helps to lead worship on Sunday mornings throughout the year, presenting special music or singing with the adult choir. A highlight of the year is Youth Serve Sunday in February, when we plan/lead worship for all morning services. The youth choir also participates in the Christmas concerts in December and students have the option of participating in the Easter programs. Our end of season is marked with an outing to Greenspring where we help lead worship for the residents’ Monday evening worship service.  Throughout the season, emphasis is placed on learning to sing in parts, basic music reading skills, and vocal technique. Rehearsal aligns with ISM Small Groups, allowing parents to drop off students for all Wednesday evening programming at 5:45pm.
