Meanwhile, the Twin Ports Homeschool Choir will be continuing next year as well, adding a chamber choir to the lineup of additional musical activities for your student.

Interested in band or piano lessons? Summer is a great time to learn a new instrument or take your musical abilities to the next level. Get in touch with Matt today to ask about setting up lessons – Contact Us!

Your homeschool choir will begin this Fall! You’ve got the word out, and many families (totaling more 30 students) have replied indicating their interest. I expect a few more may trickle in at the beginning of the school year as well. I’m absolutely ecstatic about this kind of response!

God has provided a location for us to meet in! Mount Olive Lutheran Church, pastored by Rob Franck, a homeschooling father, has graciously allowed us to meet in their facility. Mount Olive Lutheran Church is located at 2012 E Superior St. in Duluth.

Rehearsal times will be on Wednesday afternoons, from 4-5 p.m. We will meet weekly throughout the year, and our first performance will take place early during the Christmas season! The choir will be geared towards students 10 years old to 12th grade. If you have a younger student who’s interested, I suggest bringing them to find out if they can comfortably participate.

In the next couple of days, I’ll send a registration form detailing expectations for myself, the students and the choir. Our first meeting will be on Wednesday, September 7th. You can bring registration forms by that week. And if you need a week or two to think it over, drop it off by the second or third week. This is an important commitment for everyone involved, and I’m sure you’d like to get to know me and fellow choir members before making a final decision. Or you might be ready and raring to go like I am!

I would also like to gauge interest in a children’s choir that would meet from 3:30-4:00 on Wednesdays before the regular choir. This would before for students 12 years old and below. I know there are several families who have students that are right around this age and might benefit from a younger choir. I would encourage students who can to also participate in the older choir.

I’m looking forward to September 7th! So that I can approximate how many students to anticipate, can you reply and let me know if you’ll be joining us for the introductory week?

Yours truly,
