This is the beginning choir of the Kalamazoo Children's Chorus.
The focus in rehearsal is to develop skills in reading a choral score, introduce part singing and learn to work in an extended rehearsal environment. The Preparatory Choir performs at the Holiday Concert and the Spring Concert. At then end of the season members of this choir automatically move to the Treble Choir.
