Where

​

Located at Saint Paul's Choir School in Harvard Square, Cambridge, Massachusetts

Elizabeth Chladil, Summer Program Music & Rhythm Teacher

Learning in a musical ensemble, whether it's a chorus or a group music/movement class is inherently joyful and social! Through music, students learn teamwork and problem solving while making new friends!

Heather Schmid, Parent & Recording Artist

That was a triumph! It was honestly a masterclass in how to run a summer program! From the stylized programs to the t shirts and alumni counselors- to the daily debriefs, the mantra, and photo montages.The program was just so well organized and impressive. The fact that the kids learned music and bonded in a structured program was a bonus.

A Note Regarding Coronavirus:

​

As many of us have experienced, the number of summer programs available to children this year is greatly diminished. We remain hopeful that this program will run in-person, as intended. That operation will rely greatly on the re-opening plans set forth by our governor and Catholic Schools superintendent.

 

The following precautions will take place:

 

  • switch from singing (a primary means of spreading coronavirus) to percussion training and Dalcroze rythym theory methods

  • temperatures taken upon entry

  • classes held outdoors when possible

  • student groups have permanent "home bases" where teachers come to instruct

  • activities designed for 6 feet of distance between participants

  • face coverings worn at all times

 

Please remain hopeful and optimistic with us! As one of our alumni, Tim McGuirk ('07) so eloquently stated: "You [choir boys] are one of the best signs of hope in the world."
