Jr. Apprentices (Level II choristers) meet twice weekly in an expanded early-childhood training setting that fosters focus on a leader, further development of the head voice, rhythm through kinesthetic learning, and early sight-singing and music theory concepts using the Kodály method. Taught by masters-educated instructors, choristers ranging from grades 1-2 begin learning polyphony through rounds and canons, early training devices used to train the ear to independently hold pitch and eventually be able to harmonize with fellow choristers – a hallmark of any chorus. Jr. Apprentices also begin learning score identification. Rehearsals in San Francisco, Oakland or San Rafael.
