The San Diego Children's Choir is a choral organization consisting of 300 boys and girls from the San Diego, California area who are of ages six to eighteen and from a variety of racial, ethnic, religious, and economic backgrounds. It was founded by Polly Campbell and was incorporated as a non-profit public benefit corporation in 1990. Rehearsals and performances of fine music literature form the foundation of instruction and provide the youth of San Diego opportunities for artistic and personal growth through choral music performance. The choir currently rehearses in five locations to provide choral opportunities to youth in major areas of San Diego County: North County, Rancho Bernardo, the central San Diego area, downtown, and Lake Murray. Each branch is structured to contain multiple choir levels (preparatory, intermediate, concert), and as choristers advance, they leave their individual branch and join the Youth Choir. == Structure == Preparatory Choir - for very young choristers who are usually 6 or 7 years old (1st and 2nd graders). This level introduces music to the child and focuses on in-tune singing skills and building basic rhythmic skills. Except for two major Concerts, this Choir performs independently from the older choirs. Intermediate Choir - for choristers who have completed Preparatory Choir training. Choristers in this choir are usually 8 to 10 years old (grades 3 to 5). The Intermediate Choir participates in local performances and tour locally, normally within Southern California. Concert Choir - for choristers with more developed voices who are usually 11 to 14 years old (middle school grades 6 to 9). At this age that choristers begin touring nationally and internationally. Youth Choir - for advanced singers, normally consisting of high school choristers. Girls progress to the Youth Choir when they enter the tenth grade. Boys progress to the Youth Choir also in the tenth grade unless their voice changes earlier. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「San Diego Children's Choir」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
