Christian Heritage Chorale

This is a unique opportunity for homeschoolers of the Northwest to blend their voices to the Glory of God. Last year’s chorale was a stunning success! And many named it one of the highlights of the conference!

Students, ages 13 and older, are welcome but need a basic ability to read music and sing a part. Chorale instruction & practice will take place during two one hour Chorale Workshop sessions each day. The chorale will be performing three selections at the closing session on Saturday afternoon.

Instructor – Neil Craig

Mr. Craig has wide and varied professional musical experience, including being for many years the music director for Back to the Bible Broadcasts. In addition, he and his family served for several years as the directors for Russian orphanages in Moscow, Russia, and in Indianapolis, Indiana. He and his musically talented wife Mary are the homeschooling parents of five musically talented children, ages 17-31. As a family—including their married son & his wife—they delight in serving the Lord and in glorifying Him through vocal & instrumental song together.

And Mr. Craig has the unique gift of being able to teach and inspire in a most enjoyable fashion! The 2006 Chorale participants were thrilled at what they learned in a few short hours together and at the fun they had in learning it. Washington homeschooled students & graduates are especially privileged to be able to participate in the Chorale and learn from this superb musician, arranger, instructor, and director.
