Neighborhood
Choir Program
Charlotte
Children’s Choir and Waymer Community Center Afterschool Program in Huntersville, NC
will launch a Neighborhood Choir program.
The Neighborhood Choir Club is an outreach
initiative of the Charlotte Children's Choir to provide access to choral
music as an art form and to provide a means of self-expression through music
in a non-competitive group setting.
Children will meet weekly with the CCC
Neighborhood Choir Director to study choral music, basic music and vocal
skills, as well as choral performance techniques; the project culminates
with a final concert for families and the community.
The twelve
week session is for
students currently enrolled at the Waymer Afterschool Program.
The
program will begin on Thursday, February 26, 2009 for twelve weeks.
“The broad appeal of choral singing is based in
the opportunity it gives each singer to participate in an activity that
involves them artistically, builds community, enhances their skills, and
results in a product of great beauty. Choral singing has few barriers to
participation than those posed by other art forms. We want all children to
experience the beauty of song and performance and use this art form for
self-expression in a non-competitive environment.”
