Lift Every Voice and Sing: The Details

The Invitation
St. John’s is opening its doors, and you are invited to sign-up for in-person session(s) with me, Jun Kim, St. John’s Director of Music, whether your interest be:

• singing hymns, or
• learning about voice, or
• working on sight-singing, or
• learning to sing in a choir, or
• learning about handbells, or
• joining the youth choir (weekly sessions recommended), or
• taking part in Royal School of Church Music program, or
• joining the adult choir, or
• developing your skills as chorister (youth or adult), or
• recording your voice for “virtual choir” / “virtual congregational choir”, or
• all of the above.

Each session will last 30 minutes in duration (maximum), and it will take place in our Sanctuary that will be disinfected immediately after each use. Those wishing to participate individually are welcome to do so, while those wishing to participate as family of one household are encouraged to participate together. You are welcome to sign-up for one session, or one session every week. Our goal is to ensure the growth of our youth and adult choirs, while nurturing the spiritual health of St. John’s community through music. Additional slots will be added on as the need arises.

The month of October will be designated as a “trial” period, after which, adjustments will be made for the future months.
