Item Description

Do you have a kid who loves to sing? Westchester Youth Choirs, which meet in Mt. Kisco, offer the highest level of musical training for young singers. This gift certificate is good for $250, which is half off tuition. Your young performers can choose from the Westchester Girls, Young Women's or Boys Choruses. (See below for details or visit http://www.westchesteryouthchoirs.com/)

Westchester Girls Chorus is specifically designed for girls in grades 5-8 as they transition vocally and personally into teenagers (4th graders may audition for WGC if they have singing experience). It is an opportunity for girls who demonstrate musical ability and a desire for excellence to work together for musical performances and community service. Through the joy of music, girls find their own voices, encourage one another, and share their gifts for the common good.

WYWC is designed for high school girls who love to sing and have some experience in choral music. Singers will be challenged with more complex and challenging literature, including multi-voicings. Detailed attention will be given to breath support, resonance, and techniques related to specific styles of music. Repertoire will be drawn from chant to contemporary classics (including some lesser known works) as well as musical theater and pop.

WBC is designed for BOYS and YOUNG MEN (ages 8-18) who love to sing! Older boys will have the opportunity to MENTOR the younger ones and sing the more challenging parts of traditional choral music written for choirs of men and boys. Those with CHANGING VOICES will find their way through vocal exercises that help them navigate the changes. Singers will gain CONFIDENCE while they have fun learning together singing all kinds of repertoire.

Expires May 31, 2016.
