Music Ministry for Youth

Music ministry for youth at Knollwood takes many forms. There are separate bell choirs for middle school and high school [link to bell page], opportunities for instrumentalists, guitar classes, and, of course, youth choir. The Knollwood Youth Choir recently adopted the name

For a number of years this group has made bi-annual tours to different parts of the country, singing in churches, hospitals, nursing facilities, prisons, and ball games. These tours are scheduled in the summer on even-numbered years, alternating every other year with youth ministry mission trips. Recent choir tours have taken the choir to New Orleans, Atlanta, Birmingham, Boston, New York City, and Washington, D.C.
In the summer of 2002 ONE ACCORD participated in the DC Area YouthCue Choir Festival (www.youthcue.org). Here our choir joined with 300 other singers to sing a concert at the National Cathedral, sing the national anthem at an Oriels game, and record a CD with a symphony orchestra. Check out the photos!
In addition to the choirs, organist Susan Orgain regularly coaches singers and instrumentalists in the preparation of selections for worship.
