CLASSES OFFERED
EVCC currently offers three classes for school-aged children through high school. We also offer a Parents' Choir during the children's choir classes.
PREPARATORY & APPRENTICE CLASS
(Kindergarten through 3rd grade)
Apprentice Class students learn vocal techniques, harmony, expression, and dynamics through vocal warmup sessions and learning concert songs. Students focus on producing beautiful and round sound with clear diction. The repertoire will consist of folk, sacred, Chinese, and seasonal songs either in unison or two parts.
Students learn simple music theory such as note recognition, rhythm, and basic music terminology as well as sight singing using the Kodaly method (Solfège). Games are also incorporated to make learning more lively and relatable. When time permits, classes engage in listening to music pieces from different genres along with explanation and discussion to spark interest and appreciation in music.
Singing and learning music is a fun and soul freeing experience!
Instructors look forward to working with each of the students God brings to classes!
初級班的學生在課堂中介由發聲訓練及練習表演歌曲的方法來學習發聲技巧、和聲、歌曲表達的能力。我將專注於教學生用清晰的措辭發出優美圓潤的聲音。 曲目將包括一到兩聲部的民歌、聖歌、中國歌和時令歌曲。
學生將會學習簡單的音樂理論，例如音符識別、節奏和基本音樂術語，以及使用 Kodaly 方法（Solfège）來學習視唱。 我也會用遊戲的方式讓學習更加生動有趣。 在時間允許的情況下，我會用聆聽不同音樂作品，並進行解釋和討論，來激發學生對音樂的興趣和欣賞。我的目標是讓學生們快樂的學習唱歌和音樂。我期待帶著上帝賜給我的學生們一起同遊音樂的世界

CONCERT CHOIR CLASS
(4th – 12th grade)
This advanced class requires previous choir experience. Every member’s tone quality is focused upon and vocalized. Working as a team with and practicing cooperation with other choir members is a priority.
In this class, different genres of music are presented. Some examples include Broadway, Disney, contemporary Christian, and classical music. We also have pieces in different languages corresponding to their styles. The languages are (and not limited to) English, Chinese, Italian, and German. In addition, we teach how to sing in ensembles, duets, trios, and others. We will help every member to find the best of their voice.
東安中級班中級班是年齡大一點的孩子，聲音的穩定度比較好，合唱經驗也比較多，所以這一班的孩子會著重在聲音的音色，還有合唱技巧的訓練。歌曲的選擇也會有不同的語言：中文、英語、義大利語..等。配合不同的語言，也會有不同的曲式：百老匯音樂劇、迪士尼電影歌曲，當然也有宗教和古典音樂。另外年紀較大的孩子也會訓練重唱的技巧，也有機會擔任獨唱的角色。老師在課堂上會給每個人有個別聲音上的指導

PARENTS' CHOIR
The Parents' Choir is a community outreach ministry. Choir Members include both parents from the Children's Choirs, and friends who love music and love to sing! During rehearsal, parent choir director Ms. Fong always shares with Choir members the love of our Lord Jesus Christ and the American cultures from the meanings of the lyrics in the hymns and songs. With this purpose in mind, prayerfully, all the participating parents will have the opportunity to grow in their knowledge and relationship with the God who loves them.
