Novice Choristers
The Novice Choristers learn hymns, spiritual songs, and anthems that they sing from the choir loft in worship throughout the school year. They also begin to learn all the aspects of the worship service, including the creeds and prayers, so that they may fully participate in worship even as children. They also adhere to the Royal School of Church Music (RSCM) Voice for Life curriculum and also train on tone chimes.
Junior Choristers
The Junior Choristers learn advanced hymns, spiritual songs, and anthems and frequently lead the music of worship services from the choir loft. They adhere to the Royal School of Church Music (RSCM) Voice for Life curriculum and also train on tone chimes which they play to accompany themselves while singing hymns. The Juniors learn advanced music theory which enables them to sing much music with ease.
