Early Childhood Music and Movement (age 3-grade K):  On Wednesday afternoons from September through May, children ages 3-grade K learn music basics through joyful singing, movement, and games, led by Teaching Artists Lydia Saylor, Colin Robertson, Ana Smith and Elle Prado. This class participates in the Wednesday evening Family Service at 5pm and special Sunday mornings, and prepares to join the Junior Choristers.

Junior and Senior Choristers (grades 1-8): During the school year, each Wednesday from September through May, Junior and Senior Choristers learn fundamentals of choral singing, music theory, sight reading and team-building skills. These classes are led by Director of Music Janet Yieh and Chorister-Music Associate Jennifer Lane. The Choristers sing music from the Anglican Choral tradition and a diversity of styles for the 11:00 am Sunday Eucharist at Heavenly Rest, on the First Sunday of each month. They also lead music for weekly services during our Wednesday Family Afternoon, and are featured alongside the Adult Choir for special occasions including Christmas and Easter.

Heavenly Rest High School Singers (grades 9-12): Youth singers are invited to sing on Sunday mornings with the Adult Choir, working with Director of Music Janet Yieh and Chorister-Music Associate Jennifer Lane. This choir will be challenged and inspired to learn music which can be enjoyed within our Heavenly Rest community, shared out in the neighborhood, and around New York.
