Cherub Choir

The Cherub Choir is our youngest vocal group. Children from ages 3 through 7 enjoy an entertaining, spiritually enriching musical experience. This choir memorizes their pieces, and no musical knowledge is necessary. Directed by Jen Graver, the Cherub Choir sings approximately once a month for Sunday worship from October through June. They rehearse on Sunday mornings at 9:30 am.

Cherub Choir 10-28-2012

In case you missed it, here’s our Cherub Choir’s first performance for the 2012-2013 Sunday School year. Wow!

From young age to senior years, the music offered at FUMC Portland is just amazing!

Our Cherubs Choir Director

Vanessa Unger is in her final year of schooling in a Music Education: Choral Track at Portland State University (PSU) and is hoping to continue her education by entering the masters program next year at PSU.

She serves as co-President of the PSU chapter of the Music Educator’s National Conference. In addition, she is the Alto section leader and tour manager for the PSU Chamber Choir, having previously served as choir Vice-President.

She is certified at Level I in the Kodaly Method, an internationally-renowned methodology of teaching children music.

With 14 years of choral experience and nine years of professional vocal study, she is a great addition to our music staff and is working and playing with our Cherubs Choir.

The Cherubs Choir next sings for worship on February 12th.
