Minstrels: Beginning Boys

Minstrel choristers explore rhythm through patterns, movement, and playing Orff instruments. With a focus on learning teamwork and the basics of singing (good breathing, listening, and how to read music notes), they are exposed to a variety of musical styles and qualities of singing. We employ Kodály practices, extended warm-ups, vocal play, call-and-response, and both unison and small group singing. Minstrels perform twice a year and have the option of attending our daytime winter retreat and our summer music day camp, both held on our campus.
