There are several different types of children's choirs in the United States. One important aspect was the composition of the choirs. There are boy, girl, and mixed choirs. Most of the early choirs were boy choirs. Many churches have children's choirs. This was affected in part by the denomination. We see the first children's choirs in the early 20th century, although our information is still quite limited. This began as boy choirs, but now are mostly children's choirs. American choirs were mostly boy choirs in the 19th and early 20th century. After World War II, childrens choirs and even girl choirs began to appear. It is difficult to know which type of choir is the most common, prminarily because choirs vary so much in their organization and permanence.
