Novice Choristers (age 7-10), as Choristers-in-training, sing with the Choristers and Chancel Choir a minimum of one Sunday each month.  If there are enough members, the Novice Choristers will also sing as an independent choir, offering anthems appropriate to their age and skill level.  Their training consists of weekly RSCM group sessions (30 minutes), individual RSCM training (15-30 minutes) and rehearsals (one hour).  Novice Choristers also participate in several major festivals:  St. Michael’s Day, All Saints, Advent Lessons & Carols, 5:30 p.m. Christmas Eve service, Easter Sunday and Ascension.

As Novice Choristers progress through the RSCM America curriculum they will earn their St. Nicholas medal and the corresponding ribbon color that indicates their level of achievement.
