[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Purely out of curiousity, how does a not-yet 4th grade boy get the kind of musical training that would make him competitive for something like this? Thanks.[/quote] My DS sang in a children's choir at church (a pretty rag-tag one) and took piano lessons. The audition included a test of music theory basics and an ear training test (can he match a pitch and hear the different notes in a chord, for instance). The music theory helps but isn't necessary...they are looking for aptitude as well as enthusiasm. A boy has to love singing to do it for 15+ hours a week without complaint![/quote] Girls are in the program too. We agree with what the other posters have said about how wonderful the program is. Our only gripe is that there one person on the staff who seems to have an old fashioned view of discipline. It has become much less fun and enjoyable for the girls and boys. [/quote]
