• it integrates movement with music, deepening the student’s awareness of the physicality of music-making
• it’s a weekly group activity with a highly trained and experienced director
• it’s an affordable alternative to private voice lessons or an enrichment class for private instrumental lessons
• it’s an opportunity to make new friends
• it’s an opportunity to perform in public with friends through scheduled community, regional theater, church, and concert events.

About the class:

Our choir program teaches vocal basics in a fun group setting. Students learn proper warm-up and breathing exercises, and an introduction to musicianship, including simple sight-singing, rhythm games, and simple harmony. The choir works on a wide range of musical styles from contemporary Disney and Glee songs to Christmas classics and historical folk songs. Movement, games, and basic choreography add to this fun-oriented program.
