About the West End Children’s Choir
The West End Children’s Choir is a welcoming and safe place for children to develop their musical skills within a caring community. Through singing together, musical games, and performances (approx. 3 per year), children can build their confidence, rhythmic ability, sense of pitch, diction, memory, and love of music. This choir is team-led by three experienced musical educators.
The West End Children’s Choir comprises 2 groups. The Musical Friends is for children grade 2 and younger. The Older Choir (name TBD) is for children Grade 3 and older. To help support this choir, there is a suggested registration fee of $30 per term.
Age Groups
**New for this season, we are introducing “Musical Friends,” a choir and musical playtime for children in grades two and under. This group will meet for 30 minutes at 5:30. For children grades three and above, we will focus on choral music and vocal development (name of this group TBD). This group will meet from 6:00 – 6:45 PM. The two groups will come together to learn joint music for performances.
