Heartsong Children's Choir (5 - 8 year olds)
Our Heartsong Children's Choir is for 5 to 8 year old boys and girls and will be offered on Thursdays from 4:30pm - 5:45pm beginning September 18 during the Fall Session. We will have 12 rehearsals during the session. The choir will perform and lead their families and friends in songs at a local assisted-living home & at Heartsong Music as their performances for the semester. The cost of the choir includes the Bongos Songbook and 2 identical CDs (one for the car, one for home).
The choir is led by Carey Youngblood who has been teaching children's choirs for 27 years. The Heartsong Children's Choir enjoys singing songs from the Music Together® song collections. The children come to class without their parents. They become the music leaders, developing each song in their own way using rhythm instruments, resonator bells, drums, scarves & small to large movement while often singing in harmony. We will use solfege (do, re, mi hand signs) to begin sight reading. We will begin reading rhythmic notation. We invite the parents to join us for the last 15 minutes of each rehearsal where the choir will sing for their parents and then invite the parents to sing and move with us.
Feel free to come to Heartsong Music and experience a choir rehearsal as a free demonstration class if you have an interested 5 - 8 year old who loves to sing, play rhythm instruments, and move to the beat!
Choir rehearsals begin Thursday, September 18 and will go through Thursday, December 11. Hope you can join us!
