I am pleased to announce that there are going to be a number of music projects taking place this year at Congregation B’nai Moshe. These projects will be under my supervision and the auspices of the new Music Committee for the youth of our synagogue.

The first project is the establishment of two Challil (recorder) groups. One group will be for beginners interested in learning how to play the recorder and the second group will be for those who already know how to play the recorder. They will learn music for performances. The beginners’ group does not need a specific number of children to make happen. If there are not enough children for the performing group, we will wait until the beginners’ group can be added.

The second project is a youth orchestra. If your child plays an instrument and would like to participate, please let me office know. We will collect all the names. Depending on the number of children interested in this project, we will begin practice after the holidays.

We are encouraging the youth of the congregation to participate in this year’s Cabaret Nite. Cabaret Nite takes place in the winter. Watch for more information.

This year we will have a Jewish Youth Music Contest. In order to enter the contest, you must be taking music lessons from a professional teacher. The only exception will be for vocalists are participating in their school choir and have a recommendation from their teacher. A performance tape must be also be submitted. There will be prizes.
