Our Neighborhood Choir Program brings the significant benefits of choral music to 2nd - 5th grade students throughout the Greater Phoenix metro area. These benefits include:

 

• Choral Singing is a Full Body Experience - Through choral singing, children learn valuable skills and techniques that foster a strong brain-body connection.
   

• Choral Singing Fosters Mastery of Beneficial Lifelong Skills - Singing in a choir is more than just memorizing lyrics and producing beautiful sounds. It requires a focused approach to learn how to read and sing music as well as how to sing and work in harmony with others. 
   

• Choral Singing Builds Communication Skills - Communication and expression are the ultimate goals of singing. If you can sing well, you will speak well. The constant pursuit of precise communication is a hallmark of a well-trained singer, and transfers to all aspects of daily life.
   

• Choral Singing Expands and Enriches World View - Choral music includes songs from other cultures and languages. Working with a choir that performs a variety of genres and languages fosters a sophisticated understanding and deep appreciation for music. 
   

• Choral Singing Prioritizes the “We” over the “I” - Teamwork and cooperation are the cornerstones of a choir. In this non-competitive environment, choristers are supported and build confidence as they learn together through singing. The rapid social bonding that choirs encourage is vital in improving one’s health. Hearing other voices helps one to find and develop their own voice.
