ProgramsMusic & DanceChorus
Choral music is a vital part of our community and of our world. There is nothing more vital, or more impactful than singing together, especially when young people raise their voices in song. If we all took the time to listen more than we speak, if we lead by example, with kindness, and work together as a team, with every member feeling valued, what a different world we would have. These values are especially important to the children we serve, our mission is fostered in every rehearsal at the Choir rehearsal for our Children and Youth. Our mission is to help young people to find their voice. And then, make the world a better place in our own, unique, and vital way. Vocal Training
Our voice training Program accept students from 5 years old to adults. Young beginners (5 years old) are evaluated for readiness. Our voice classes include vocal warmups, ear training exercises, and vocal repertoire from your favorite artists to classical arias. Students will learn how to breathe properly, how to increase their range, how to project their voice and enunciate, how to use proper pitch, and stage presence. Students have several optional performance opportunities throughout the year, and they will have their voice coach to rehearse with them and play for them on the recitals. Dance
Movement and rhythm come naturally to children, and when you get a child involved in regular dance classes, the benefits only get better. Not only does dance allow kids to get their energy out, but it is also a great (and often safe) way for them to express themselves. Dance training also teaches kids that diligent work pays off. When students continue to put in effort in class, they will see results. This is a concrete way for children to see that observing their actions and listening to guidance from teachers, combined with challenging work, leads to positive results.” Our dance program is a one stop shop. The following Gener’s are included in both dance sessions, Dance, Jazz, Ballet, Lyrical Jazz, modern, and African. We do not teach tap. Dance instruction is twice a week for our regular students. Our competition team (majorette dancing) practices 3 days a week. Our ages range from 7 years to high school. Each practice begins with unfamiliar dance warm-ups, across the floor progressions, and choreographies. For more information about our dance program please complete the registration form and our dance coach will contact you or send you more information. The benefits of dance encompass all areas of health, including physical, mental, and emotional. Not only does it give you a way to express yourself and have fun, but it also counts toward your cardiovascular exercise minutes for the week. Piano
Starting from the first piano lesson, we customize a personal program for each student based on one’s developmental stage, unique abilities, individual learning styles, and musical goals. Students have a choice in duration of their weekly classes based on teacher’s recommendation and individual personal needs. Students can choose between 30-min., and 60-min. individual weekly classes. Each class contains elements of music theory, piano technique, ear-training, piano solo, and piano ensemble performance. Our piano students play the pieces they love. Our students are given numerous opportunities to perform throughout the year. Oratorical ExpressionTheatre
Our Theatre students will have multiple chances to collaborate individually with our teachers in both theatre and music on acting, vocal performance, and movement. Our program offers participants of all backgrounds and experience levels an opportunity to engage in their craft, both on stage and off. Performance opportunities include musical theatre, a variety of monologues and scenes, pop/rock songs, spiritual, gospel, hip-hop that includes original and devised work, and afully produced musicals at the end of the year.
