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 program 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.
