South Bay Children's Choir is divided into five progressive levels of performing groups:

1. Minnesingers: Entry-level choir focused on singing, score reading and ensemble performing fundamentals in a highly nurturing setting
2. Meistersingers: Second level choir focused on further instructions in vocal technique and note reading
3. Choristers: Intermediate level choir focused on instruction in part singing and theory
4. Choraliers:  Advanced level choir focused on increasingly difficult repertoire
5. Bel Canto: Highly skilled ensemble requiring sight-reading skills, vocal techniques that enable blending and good intonation, and the ability to sing complex harmonies.  Greater commitment is required of Bel Canto members  as the singers are expected to meet twice a week and sing in more performances.
