The Alaska Children's Choir
Girls and boys between the ages of 5 and 18 are auditioned for acceptance into the choir by appointment with the director. At the audition, the director looks for training potential, not the degree of music skill already acquired.

The Alaska Children's Choir Levels
MINISINGERS (AGES 5 - 6) - MN & MASTERSINGERS (AGES 6 - 9) - MS
Choir members new to our program who are ages 5-6 usually enter the Minisingers. Students ages 6-8 usually enter the Mastersingers. Here they study music theory, sight-singing, ear-training, and the basics of good vocal production. This choir performs at the annual Holiday and Spring concerts, and at events that require the full choir membership.
CHAMBERSINGERS (AGES 7 - 12) - CS
Choir members who have been in the Mastersingers at least one year, and/or have the permission of the director, may enter the Chambersingers. Continued emphasis is placed on musicianship, vocal technique, and theory. Once students enter the Chambersingers, they begin to work with multiple-part songs, and sing repertoire in foreign languages. This choir performs at the annual Holiday and Spring concerts, and at events that require the full choir membership.
JUBILATE (AGES 9 - 18) - JB
Choir members who have been in the Chambersingers at least one year, and/or have the permission of the director, may enter Jubilate. Continued emphasis is placed on musicianship, vocal technique, and theory. Jubilate members also learn to sing intermediate-level repertoire in foreign languages. This choir performs at some community concerts, at the annual Holiday and Spring concerts, and at events that require the full choir membership. The Jubilate level is designed as a level where singers who have intermediate musical ability can perform at a more advanced level than the Chambersingers offers.
TOURING CHOIR (AGES 12 -18) - TC
Students who have been members of Jubilate for one year or more, and have the Choir Director's permission, may proceed into the Touring Choir. Touring Choir members place emphasis on musicianship and vocal technique, as well as theory. A large percentage of the Touring Choir repertoire is sung in foreign languages. Some songs are sung without accompaniment (a cappella). The Touring Choir gives frequent community performances in addition to the annual Spring and Holiday concerts. Each summer, the Touring Choir travels from home on a concert tour, alternating between national and international festivals.
