The Austin organ at The Presbyterian Church in Morristown was originally built in 1960 as a three manual, 50-rank instrument. The organ was typical of the period: neo-classic scheme, small scales, light foundations. The entire instrument was installed at one level behind a magnificent 19th century case similar to the Mormon Tabernacle. The Austin organ went through significant tonal modifications in 1996 when refurbished from its original construction.

This choir continues the groundwork laid in Bel Melodia. We learn the fundamentals of voice production, proper breathing and vocal techniques. The children begin to read music, both vocal and handbell. We continue to improve their rhythmic skills, coordination and teamwork. We begin the development of worship leadership, and of course, have fun. This choir rehearses during the Midweek program on Wednesdays from 5:05-6:00pm in the Parish House. We lead worship on two-three Sundays, present a musical in February and participate in the Collage Concert.
