Seven Choristers Take Silver Medal Exam with Royal School of Church Music
Seven choristers took the silver medal exam administered through the Royal School of Church Music with which the Saint James Chapel Choir is affiliated. Normally the tests are conducted in person with an outside adjudicator. Instead, choristers submitted the required hymn, psalm, anthem, and Magnificat settings by video recording and then in a video interview answered questions about music theory and history, elements of liturgical worship, aural skills, and sight-singing. Coco Zhang '21, Jessie Wang '22, Jimmy James '21, and Annie Zhao '22 passed with Merit, and Jack Weisgerber '21, Peter Yang '22, and Will Zimmermann '21 were awarded Distinction for their high scores. Congratulations!
