Singing with a beautiful tone and developing good vocal habits to add beauty and meaning to our liturgies are our goals.  Children are prepared by developing musical literacy and good vocal technique. Joyful Noise sings monthly at Sunday mass and on special occasions. Contact Robert Long at 973-635-0070, ext. 716

Benefits of participating in the Children's Choir at Corpus Christi include:

• learning to sing.  Children who can't yet follow a melody CAN learn to do so if they come to rehearsal regularly. Those who already sing tunefully will learn vocal and music reading skills that will stay with them throughout their lives.
• training as worship leaders.  Most children who feel that their presence in choir is important to God, the church and their parents continue to center their lives in the church long after their beginning choir experience is over. We are building the church choirs of tomorrow.
• expanding the Christian education.  Sung prayer is a powerful tool for teaching Scripture and liturgy. 
• the opportunity for children to learn first-hand about serving God with their time and talent. 
• learning to sing in front of hundreds of people.  Experience singing before a large crowd will help children to lose their shyness and develop poise that transfers into all areas of life.
