Choristers Training & Summer Choir School

Choristers Training

Choristers in grades 4-8 participate in the Choristers Training Program, based on the merit system of the Royal School of Church Music in America. Building on the experience of their earlier years, our choristers develop more complex skills to enable them to undertake leadership in worship, deepen their understanding of scripture, and build confidence and expertise in music. As they complete the requirements for successive levels, they earn the unique West Side Choristers' Medal, symbolizing their commitment and increasing musical skills.
