Lift Up Your Voice

Being a chorister at St. James’ is a wonderful way to experience music across the centuries and reinforce faith-based formation in the church.

Choristers learn healthy singing techniques and musicianship skills through fun and varied activities, including Orff instruments, handchimes and handbells.  Rehearsal techniques are planned to engage students at age- and developmentally-appropriate levels, incorporating kinesthetic, visual and auditory learning.  The age ranges indicated are a starting point for best social and pedagogical results.  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.

We want you involved, and everyone is welcome!
