AUGUSTUS LUTHERAN CHURCH, 717 W Main St, Trappe, PA, 19426

The Chorister Academy at Augustus is one of the best ways in the Philadelphia region to provide your child with a tuition-free, world-class music education.

Our highly-regarded chorister program provides children and youth ages 7 - 17 with outstanding professional choral training, music theory instruction, leadership development, choir camps and trips. No previous musical experience is required, only an eagerness to learn and the ability to match pitch.

The Chorister Academy is open to families of all faith backgrounds and walks of life. Choristers, through their shared pursuit of musical excellence, develop focus, empathy, and teamwork skills as they build lasting friendships along the way.

During the academic year, choristers rehearse on Thursday afternoons from 4:00-5:30 and on Sunday mornings at 9:30, before the 10:30 service of Holy Communion. Choristers are trained to sing on a professional level and join adults in the Augustus Parish Choir to form a cohesive intergenerational choir. The choir sings a broad range of choral repertoire from the 16th century to present day.

We accept new students throughout the year but encourage families to register for the upcoming fall season, if possible. Please complete a<a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/19nk2riyBVyRQ3C8ACHMGlzUufACJRk02VwuFw5gQX3k/edit" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Chorister Academy Interest Form</a> and Dr. Roland will be in touch shortly!

The Augustus Handbell Choir provides participants with a unique musical experience. Ringers are assigned a specific number of bells and rely on one another to present a complete musical composition.

Previous musical experience isn’t required. Ringers learn to read music, develop rhythm skills, and increase coordination along the way. The process is creative and fun with ringers learning several techniques that produce a variety of musical effects. In addition, handbell ringing brings people of all ages and backgrounds together to foster camaraderie and a shared purpose.

The Augustus Handbell Choir provides special music throughout the year and rehearses on Thursday evenings at 6:00. The handbell choir is open to youth and adults. If you would like to become part of this ministry, please contact Dr Roland at <a href="mailto:music@augustustrappe.org">music@augustustrappe.org</a>.
