Our choral program consists of four choral divisions, directed by Mrs. Andrea Pederson::
- Intro to Choir – pre-K through age 6
- Choristers – age 7-9
- The Chorale – age 10+
- Chamber Singers – ages 13+
- 1- hour String ensemble (RCM Grade 1+) with Chris Savage
- Ukulele with Mark Hildebrand
- Acoustic Guitar Group Class with Mark Hildebrand
Intro to Choir is a 45-minute rehearsal for our youngest singers and those who are “unsure” of choir.
The Choristers have a 45-minute rehearsal each week with a primary focus on learning memorable and truthful repertoire while using proper vocal technique.
The Chorale has a 60-minute rehearsal each week with a focus on blend, tone and singing in unison and parts.
The Chamber Singers is a small ensemble for our more experienced singers. The group rehearses for 45 minutes following the Chorale.
There are two choir terms per school year from September to December, and January to mid-May.
All Abbotsford Homeschool Choir programs rehearse on Monday afternoons, at Calvin Presbyterian Church, 33911 Hazelwood Ave, Abbotsford.
