Junior Choir Program

Grades 3-8

Choir Sings: 3rd Sunday each month at 10:00am

 

The Junior Choir Program is a community music program sponsored by Pilgrim Lutheran Church . The choir is made up of student members and friends ages 8-13. Its musical selections range from classical to contemporary religious songs.

The Junior Choir is an integral and valued part of our worship service and church family. Participation provides an opportunity for children to grow spiritually and come together in fellowship with one another. Our Director of Music teaches every child proper vocal technique and the ability to read and understand music in a fun, kind, and collaborative setting. Every rehearsal our choir members play rhythm and ear training games that develop their musical abilities. Every rehearsal our choir members play rhythm and ear training games that develop their musical abilities. Many of the choir members go on to be music leaders in High School and many have been music majors in college. The strong friendships formed in past choirs have lasted for decades!

In addition to monthly Sunday Services, performance opportunities include talent shows, mini-musicals, Christmas caroling, and the annual Holiday Singalong at Wolf Trap with the U.S. Marine Band “President’s Own.”

Singers with a background in instrumental playing are also encouraged to take part in our Instrumental Program.

The Junior Choir is well known for its musical productions. Past mini-musicals include The Sound of Music, Aladdin, and Annie. Past full-length musicals include Amal and the Night Visitors, Oh! Jonah, Moses and the Freedom Fanatics, Godspell JuniorFor Such a Time as This, and American Ideal.
