The Choir program at Westminster Academy is an essential part of the school’s dedication to artistic and spiritual development. Beginning in PK2 with general music and chorus classes, students are introduced to the joy of singing. As they progress, vocal instruction continues with various levels of chorus from 6th through 12th grade to cater to different skill sets. This structured program ensures that all vocal students have ample opportunities to develop and showcase their God-given talents in both performance and worship. The choir has a rich history of remarkable performances, including tours to Italy and Germany, performances at the prestigious Carnegie Hall in New York City, and Disney’s Candlelight Processional. Through these experiences, the Choir program hones students’ musical abilities and strengthens their connection with God and their community, reflecting the school’s commitment to nurturing well-rounded individuals.
