Music Education Program

The formal training levels meet on Wednesday evenings, Saturday mornings. Those levels are:
 
   * Beginner I
   * Beginner II
   * Beginner III
   * Intermediate I
   * Intermediate II
   * Intermediate III
   * Solfas I, II, III, & IV
 
Children from Intermediate III are required to re-audition for entrance into the Concert Choir. Students who complete our training program have the equivalent of at least a first year college level of music education. They are trained in musicianship, including theory, harmony, dictation, rhythm and solfege in major and minor keys as well as in all modes. They may also have had experience in composition.

Furthermore, they have had intensive training in healthy vocal technique from childhood through adolescence, leading to a personal understanding of the voice, its physical properties and its care. Children in CCM also gain important experience with self-paced learning, mental concentration, a heightened personal and social awareness, and flexibility.

Ours is one of the oldest, most distinguished and enviable programs of choral music education for a community children's choir in the United States. We are proud to serve as a model of how to effectively and efficiently teach music to children and what they can accomplish musically.
