Valerie Shields challenges the youth of our congregation to be the very best singers that they can be.  With the able assistance of accompanist Shari Anderson, the Youth Choir works each week for a solid hour rehearsing for worhip leadership.  Youth Choir is held every Wednesday evening from 5:00-6:00 p.m. in the Choir Room.

The Youth Choir works on challenging, innovative and classical repertorie in unison, two- three- and four parts.  They lead worship at least once each month and their leadership includes the singing of a seasonally appropriate anthem as well as other elements of worship and praise including psalm settings, calls to worship, prayers and calls to prayer and music during the Eucharist.  Members of the Youth Choir are given opportunity to prepare for solo and small ensemble singing and are encouraged to use the gifts they have in instrumental music for choir accompaniment when appropriate.

Individual coaching for part singing, rhythm and note reading is available from Valerie on request.
