The Songbirds
Songbirds is a musical discovery program for 5- and 6-year-olds. The Songbirds explore the basics of singing with a fun, engaging, age-appropriate curriculum which is more like a general music classroom. Using games, songs, and rhythm instruments, the children learn about the musical concepts such as using a healthy singing voice, self-expression through movement/instrument play, and thoughtful and active listening to music.
Lyric Chorus
The children in the Lyric Chorus are old enough to engage in a full choir rehearsal. Concepts that are fundamental to choral singing are taught, such as singing posture, breath support, good diction, the ability to follow a conductor’s gesture, and the beginnings of reading a choral music score. Rehearsals include games and activities that are fun and encourage the children to work together as a team.
Concert Chorus
Concert Chorus members perform a variety of compositions representing many musical styles ranging from traditional classical to Broadway and pop songs. The Concert Chorus continues the development of musicianship in each individual singer, as well as the ensemble as a whole.
Alumni Chorus
Singing with the Alumni Chorus is a wonderful way to reconnect with old friends and continue singing choral music as an adult. The Alumni Chorus performs on concerts throughout the year, with a short rehearsal period leading up to the concert.
