The Clover Choristers program consists of 4 level choirs designed to provide developmentally appropriate comprehensive music education through the art of choral singing to the families and the community of Lake Wylie/Clover. Sequential musical skill development as well as the rehearsal and performance of fine choral literature form the foundation of instruction. Singers range in age from 5 to 11 years, from both public and private schools, as well as children that are home schooled. Membership is open to children of all races, ethnic backgrounds, economic levels, and religions.
CHOIRS:
Concert Choir (Choir III)
Membership in the top ensemble is reserved for the singer ready for the most challenging repertoire, increased rehearsal intensity and performance requirements. Multiple languages, solos, and small ensemble performance can be expected at this level. Ages 9 - 11
KinderChoristers
Children may enter at age five. Although this group does not require audition for membership, the Director meets with all children and parents prior to program admission. We listen to them, establishing the first steps in building trust between directors, singers, and parents. The curriculum is based on choral readiness. Children are taught, primarily through play-party game songs and simple unison songs, to love singing and to use their voices with freedom. Emphasis is also placed on the difference between speaking and singing voices, and comparative musical concepts such as high/low, fast/slow, and loud/soft. Ages 5 - 7
