About Our Ensembles
Choral Ensembles for K-12th graders
Start your child on the path to a lifetime of musical enjoyment and achievement. These early choral experiences create a rich and engaging environment for introducing music, singing, and rhythm to young singers. Our teachers have a passion for working with young children and the early voice. Through quality instruction, your child will develop as a musician, build confidence, and strengthen their social skills through singing and peer interaction.
