Chorus Levels

The Redwood Coast Children's Chorus is currently divided into three levels.  The choruses meet once a week for a period of time appropriate to each chorus level.  For each chorus level, ages are suggested but are not absolute.  If a younger chorus member meets the musical standards expected and is emotionally mature enough for advancement, then it is possible that child will be placed at a higher level.

Level I (Pre Chorus) - Children 3-5 years of age who show enthusiasm about singing and who are able to follow directions well. This group needs no previous musical training. The sessions meet for 30 minutes per week.

Level II (Training Chorus) - Children who are the approximate ages of 6-10 years.  This group must be able to sing in tune reasonably well.  Children at this level are expected to rehearse for one hour per week.  The ability to stay focused and to keep a positive attitude is essential. There is also an emphasis on dance and rhythm movement.

Level III (Concert Chorus - Auditions Only!!!) - Approximate ages of 8-18 years of age.  Concert Chorus members must meet all of the requirements of Training Chorus.  They must also have the vocal quality and development to blend well with the rest of the Concert Chorus.  At this level, members are expected to come to chorus with a positive attitude and be ready to rehearse.  they must bring all required materials to rehearsal as well as arrive on time.  Level III meets for one and a half hours per week, and participates in various performances throughout the year.
