I am very excited to announce that the Cathedral Choir School of Delaware has expanded its music theory curriculum, leadership training, and college-bound mentoring program.
The music theory curriculum combines computer tutorials and workbook materials that are integrated with the Royal School of Music Voice for Life training scheme. Students will be able to do most of their assignments at home using creative and award-winning computer programs that guide them through a comprehensive course of music theory.
Regarding leadership development, we are partnering with the YMCA Resource Center to offer Peer Leader Training in the fall and Peer Mediation Training in the spring. Additional leadership training will be offered in the summer during choir camps. The first camp will be held in June and will focus on children and youth in the immediate neighborhood around the Cathedral. The second camp will be held at the end of July and will include students who are already enrolled in the Choir School.
Our choristers will be in residence at Saint Andrew’s School in Middletown, Delaware. In the course of the summer, we worked closely with the University of Delaware to become an official Partner Program of the Delaware Mentoring Council. We are pleased to be offering mentoring for students in the elementary, middle and high school levels.
We are very excited about these expanded programs and believe that these opportunities will enhance the overall formation of our choristers. Anyone who is interested in volunteering as a mentor is encouraged to contact me at the Cathedral office. Thank you!
