Rehearsals Start 9/11/2011!!!! Registration is Open!!!
The Children’s Choirs (CC) offer the children and youth of FUUCA a high level of vocal musical experience and the opportunity for personal expression of faith. Participation fosters dedication, community, and teamwork while having a joyous time throughout the musical journey.
- During rehearsals, singers learn about healthy vocal production, including resonance, projection, beautiful tone, and breath management. Choir participants explore fun, age-appropriate music that focuses on singing in the context of self-awareness, cooperation, and creativity.
- The musical curriculum draws primarily from songbooks compiled by the UUA (e.g., Rise and Sing).
- The Elementary Choir is for children in approximately grades K-3, while the Secondary Choir is for youth in grades 4-8 (adjusted at the Directors’ discretion).
- The Elementary Children’s Choir Director may allow younger children to participate, but parents of those children may be required to attend rehearsals and/or musical offerings.
- The CC offers a total of four exciting sessions, two in the Fall and two in the Spring.
- Each session culminates in multiple musical offerings showcased during both FUUCA Sunday morning worship services. There may be special musical offerings at other times during a session.
- At some musical offerings, one or both of the children’s choirs join with the adult choir to form a full Intergenerational choir.
- Sunday rehearsals run from 9:15-10:15 AM (during the 1st service and concurrently with the 1st RE session).
- If you would like to make a donation to help cover unbudgeted CC expenses, your gift of any amount is appreciated. For more information, contact the Children’s Choir Coordinator. The CC is absolutely open to all families, regardless of financial situation.
To enroll your child in the choir, complete the Registration Packet, which is available a few weeks before Fall Session 1 begins in September. This form is completed once per school year. The CC publishes a single-page CC Rehearsal and Musical Offering Schedule and Information Sheet at the beginning of each Session as a supplement to the information contained in the Registration Packet. See the bulletin board outside the Religious Education office or the files on the Children’s Choir Yahoo group for the required forms.
