EVERYONE CAN SING   - Parish Junior Choir Initiative

How would you like your child to join a Choir led by a professional Choir Master with years of experience, Daniel Younan?

We hope to begin a Parish Choir next term (Term 3) for all those children Years 1 – 5 who love to sing and love to perform.

We will have a “come along and see what we have to offer” afternoon on Tuesday 27 July, Term 3.

If you would like to join up after this we will have registrations forms both hard copy and online for you to complete. There will be a registration fee of $50 per Term, which will go towards both Daniel and his organists time as well as sheet music.

What will be the benefits of joining this choir?

Come along once a week for 90 minutes practice and learn to be an accomplished singer

Perform for special occasions within the Parish, Perform for your peers and parents

Hopefully go on to joining a senior choir as time goes on

Should this venture be successful we hope to start a Youth Choir Year 6 – 12 students in the near future.

Should you wish to see Daniel in action with the Senior/Adult Choir in our Parish please come along to Sunday 13th June 8.30 am Mass at St Martin’s, Davidson or every Tuesday evening 7.30 to 9.30pm  adult choir practice held at St Martin’s.
