The Ware Church Choral School was founded to provide Gloucester area children with an extra-curricular option for music education, that requires teamwork and fosters strong interpersonal skills. Thanks to a generous donor, fees for the camp and school are significantly below cost.
As part of the Choral School, students will enjoy a weekly rehearsal on Wednesday afternoons from 4:30-5:30 p.m. Each rehearsal will include singing sessions and instruction on reading rhythms and melodies: young singers will learn to read music using solfeggio (do, re, mi), learn to listen for blended tone, matching vowels shapes, and express their emotions through song. More importantly, children will gain insight on being a good team member and self-confidence in public performances. Tuition for the academic year semesters includes t-shirt, hoodie, all materials the student needs to be successful chorister.
The program is directed by Mrs. Patti Taylor. She holds a Masters of Music Education from Florida State University, and has had a stella career working with children.
Mrs. Taylor will lead the choir’s weekly practices, public performances, and periodic participation at the 10:30 am worship on Sundays at Ware.
