Youth Cantor Program

Youth Cantor Photo Library

(ages 4^th-8th grade)

Coordinators: Diana Hendrix
 

Children from the Choristers Choir are invited by their choir director to serve as cantors when that choir sings, or at other appropriate liturgies.  Cantors provide the most visible musical leadership at each celebration.  Cantors lead the sung prayer of the assembly throughout each mass.

·         Cantors must have a well projected and pleasant voice, and be able to provide musical leadership for the assembly. The ability to be comfortable in front of a large assembly is essential.

·         Cantors must demonstrate an ability to think/act “on their feet” as well as other leadership skills.

·         Cantors must be able to learn music on their own.  Rehearsal tapes will normally be provided.

·         Cantors must attend seasonal training sessions that are provided as well as choir rehearsals.

• Only one training session for new cantors in the program will be held in September each year.
