AGES 9 TO 17
Details, January 2026 to May 2026
ABOUT
We offer classes for select performers who may benefit from additional training before being ready for our Senior and Junior groups, or those who are looking for a more recreational opportunity. The classes are smaller than the Senior and Junior groups, which allows for more personal attention. There are three class levels – Teen, Intermediate, and Youth.
The classes have their own concert designed to help the performers gain more confidence and experience in a lower pressure setting.
AUDITIONS
No formal audition is required for our recreational classes! However, we’d love to hear your voice – please send us a video for vocal assessment singing “Happy Birthday” or any other song you’re comfortable with. This will help us get a sense of your vocal abilities. See more details on the auditions page.
