Calgary Junior Choir
The Calgary Junior Choir serves as an introduction to music and choral performance for young singers from Grade 2 to Grade 4. In a large group setting, choristers are taught the fundamentals of reading music, watching and understanding the actions of their conductor, and how to blend their voices to create a unified sound. They are introduced to basic music theory concepts, good choral vocal production, and how to perform in a live concert setting. This choir participates in three main concerts throughout the year; the Christmas concert, the folk concert, and spring concert.
