Children's Choir Choir time is a time and a place where boys and girls can experience God through music. This means that our directors and teachers intentionally make plans for this to happen! Singing is our main activity, and cooperative teamwork is our goal. Other musical activities include playing instruments, moving to music, reading music, creating music, learning how to share music with others, and activities that develop a keen listening skill. We present these activities in a fun, engaging way, so children can experience the joy of music-making. We also help prepare the children for corporate worship in our church, knowing how important it is that they feel a part of what we do when we gather as a community. We carefully choose songs, hymns, and anthems to teach the children, knowing that a great amount of the theology they will learn can be derived from these texts. We offer musical experiences for preschoolers, and elementary age children—would you and your child join us? Raise a Song IV - Friday April 13-Saturday, April 14, 2012 See more photos of the children's choir.
Cherub Music Utilizing the Musikgarten curriculum God’s Children Sing, and John Feierabend's First Steps in Music, our youngest children learn the Bible stories and traditional folk songs through movement, singing, instruments, and drama. This program also allows parents and children to make music together, sharing in their musical expression of faith. KinderChoir Carol Choir The beginnings of a faith foundation and the basic rudiments of music and singing are all a part of each rehearsal for these choirs. Both the KinderChoir and Carol Choir will progress through the curriculum, Sing, Play, & Rejoice inGod. The children will learn spiritual concepts and musical skills through the early stages of Orff-Schulwerk and Kodaly methodologies as they play instruments, participate in musical games, and sing hymns, anthems, and traditional songs. Chapel Choir The Chapel Choir blends together Kodaly and Orff-Schulwerk-based methodology utilizing musical games and activities, folksongs, rhythm solfege, anthems and hymns for use in worship. Each rehearsal provides a whold child centered approach of fun and creative learning for further musical and spiritual development. Each spring, the Chapel Choir participates in Raise a Song, a children's choir festival at Camp Caraway in Asheboro, North Carolina. ..................................................................................................................................
