Program Summary
As the educational program of the Boychoir and Girls’ Choir, the Childrens' School of Liturgical Music is inspired by the Royal School of Church Music approach to encouraging the development of a singer both as a musician and as a member of their church family. There are three levels of achievement in the CSLM: Singer, Musician and Chorister. For each level 15 requirements must be met, 5 each under the categories of Musical, Liturgical and Scriptural. The completion of these tests indicate a minimum of progress in learning which equips the child with the skills, understanding and vocabulary to be a significant contributor to the liturgical music program of the parish.

Methodology
The liturgical and scriptural requirements are mostly taught during the choir season, as they become relevant to the work at hand. Most of the musical skills are handled the same way, with the exception of the requirement to sight-sing a modulation to the dominant, which is the most difficult requirement for Chorister, and requires individual tuition. With the completion of each level the child is rewarded by wearing a cross of increasing size along with the choir blazer.

Chorister's Institute
Upon reaching the level of Chorister, it was decided not to invent another level, but to move in another direction. Thus, the Choristers’ Institute is a 2-week summer program of 3 hours daily studying sight-singing, harmony, composition, liturgy, conducting, and concluding with a performance at some liturgy. The program is still evolving in its design and schedule. It is assisted by the fact that many of the Choristers also study another instrument or two, which instruments are also used for the study of composition and the final performance. The final goal is to have young musicians who understand the liturgy and have the skill to create and perform the finest music possible within the liturgy to the praise of God.
