Wonderful things are happening in Asbury Park!
It is coming back from past economic decline into present and future recovery.
![Page 15: Trinity Church Chorister Program](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102400/54b92ae44a795970598b463f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
But many Choristers live in yet-to-be-developed areas.

The Chorister Program has an important mission to unite the many and diverse areas of Asbury Park

Working for Change:Exploring Music Summer CampA camp for neighborhood children to discover possibilities, where local musicians volunteer their time – Cost to the Program: $1500
Cost to campers: Free

Working for Change: Free Piano Lessons for Choristers
Free piano lessons are offered to all Choristers – About half of the Choristers take advantage.
They are offered on-campus, which offers another connection to the Trinity community
Individual donations from members of the community are the main source of funding, which takes constant work to keep up enough to go on.
![Page 28: Trinity Church Chorister Program](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102400/54b92ae44a795970598b463f/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
How Piano Lessonsare done at Trinity
40 lessons per year at $20 per lesson are available to each Chorister
Lessons take place at Trinity
Trinity buys the lesson books
The cost comes to roughly $850 per year per student – but with no charge to the student.
If the student has no piano or keyboard, we loan one, or help find a donated piano.
Supporters are encouraged to sponsor one student for the whole year
![Page 29: Trinity Church Chorister Program](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102400/54b92ae44a795970598b463f/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Currently, 13 students are taking lessons
But there are another 11 on the waiting list
![Page 30: Trinity Church Chorister Program](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102400/54b92ae44a795970598b463f/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Working for Change:Homework Help and Mentoring
Trinity Choristers have three dedicated volunteers, who come every Thursday afternoon beginning at 2:30 PM. They are present when Choristers arrive after school is out.
![Page 31: Trinity Church Chorister Program](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102400/54b92ae44a795970598b463f/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
They help with homework, as well as supervise those with homework, but don’t need assistance. They also will work with Choristers on certain musical concepts, enriching and enhancing what they learn in rehearsal.
![Page 32: Trinity Church Chorister Program](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102400/54b92ae44a795970598b463f/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
After homework is finished, they enjoy getting to know our Choristers through supervising them in games and other activities until it is time for rehearsal to begin.
![Page 33: Trinity Church Chorister Program](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102400/54b92ae44a795970598b463f/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Because so many Chorister families do not own cars, our volunteers also help with transportation when the Choristers travel. Trinity does not own a bus or van, so logistics are important!
They also stay through the rehearsal that follows, making sure all Choristers have the music they need, and monitoring the rehearsal behind the scenes by answering non-rehearsal related questions, supervising bathroom breaks and other needs.

Working for Change:RSCM Camps – a huge boost
The whole choir benefits from kids returning with elevated standards, positive culture, friendships with others outside their community, and the great repertoire that they have shared.
Raleigh Girls’ Course 2008
Kings’ Course, Wilkes-Barre, PA 2008
Sending kids to RSCM camps for a week each summer helps them both musically and socially.
![Page 35: Trinity Church Chorister Program](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102400/54b92ae44a795970598b463f/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
By interacting positively with girls and boys from all over the country, our Choristers’ world begins to look bigger, and they learn they have value in that bigger world.
![Page 36: Trinity Church Chorister Program](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102400/54b92ae44a795970598b463f/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
The cost of camp for each Chorister is $550, but the benefit is incalculable.

Trinity Choristers rehearse together once a week, on Thursday afternoons.
They sing about two times per month, and sometimes more often, particularly at Christmas time.
Piano lessons are scheduled at the mutual convenience of the family and the teacher, usually on Mondays and Thursdays.
They are also occasionally an intergenerational choir, often singing with adults who serve as positive role models.
