The Cherub Choir comprises children, ages 4 to Grade 2, with all parish affiliations welcome. The Cherub Choir seeks to instill a love of and excitement for singing sacred music in the hearts and minds of young children, and prepares them to eventually join the ranks of the Choristers. Healthy vocal production, rhythm, dynamics, and singing in tune are taught by its director and early childhood expert, Ellen Taylor Sisson, in a loving and creative atmosphere.
Rehearsals take place on Mondays from 3:30pm-4:15pm in the Parish Hall.
