A Note from the
Director
 
Thank you for taking the time to look at our website.  If you are a parent or guardian of a musically gifted child I would welcome the opportunity to talk with you.  I think you’ll find the people of Christ Church Cathedral to be warm and caring.  You will find a welcome here.
 
Our new music program is based on the British model where children are educated in return for their service to the choir.  We’ll provide a high quality after-school program and music training (worth many thousands of dollars annually).  All we require is your family’s full participation. Successful students are actually paid a modest amount for their devoted service.

We are affiliated with the Royal School of Church Music, and use its training scheme as a model for our program.
 
Give me a call or send an email.  I look forward to meeting you.
 
Sincerely,
Jarrett Follette
