Music Makers is a choirclub for boys and girls ages 6-8 years old. The children learn to sing and joyfully respond to music. They sing songs from a different historical period each semester and wear historical costumes as part of their performance. . . history comes alive for them throughout the year as they experience the music, dress, food, games, activities, etc. of another time and place. Children also learn basic rhythmic, dynamic and tempo terms and learn to respond to them via Dalcroze games with their whole bodies. The children's musical intelligence is enhanced through the Music Makers experience.

This choir is a cooperative effort, which means that each mom has the privilege of monitoring once or twice per month and is assigned a job.

When you become a part of the Music Maker Family, you are committing to regular attendance, to listen to the CD at least 3 times per week and to fulfilling your Music Maker job assignment.

Contact  Pamela   for more information.

The Savior’s Singers choir is a treble choir which encourages homeschooled boys and girls ages 9-10 years old in their development of singing skills, beginning part singing, and basic theory. A few of the primary focuses of this choir are the memorization of hymns, basic hymn history, and emphasis on God being glorified through our music. The choir’s repertoire consists of a variety of sacred and secular works. Rehearsal time is interspersed with fun music games that reinforce basic elements of music. Because singers must be able to match pitch, a voice check is required for singers new to the choir. Savior’s Singers participate in the CHEA Homeschool Choir Concerts in the fall and spring and also minister through music at a local nursing home twice a year. Parental involvement is required on many different levels some of which are monitoring during rehearsals, teaching theory, and assisting with choir uniforms.

Registration information for the 2012-2013 choir season is now available. For more information about Savior’s Singers, please contact  Tani Trejo.

Carolina Youth Chorale (CYC,) is an SATB choir for homeschooled students during the high school years. Goal: to inspire students to fully worship God through music, to strive for high musical standards, grow and develop their singing, and to kindle a love and passion for great music.

• Members are auditioned.
• Young men: after voice change through age 18 or high school graduation
• Young women: Must be age 14 on or before October 15th and in 9th -12th grade.

As the choir learns difficult and challenging music in four or more parts they are developing their musical ear. Excellent singing requires very keen discipline. Discipline and self control, focus and teamwork are required of each member as they learn to sit quietly (which is harder than it seems,) listen to the instructions and fully apply themselves to developing new singing habits, to listen to the voices around them and unify their sound instead of attempting to dominate, to blend their vowels into one congenial sound, being mindful of blend.

An attitude of thankfulness and a willingness to work hard are a must and are more integral then the level or talent of their voices.

All parents are required to support this choir by signing up to volunteer for various jobs during the year.
