About Practice
It is expected that each child will practice their music 2-3 days each week by listening to all of the warm-ups and songs (if we are singing in parts, they only need to listen to their part) provided on the website while reading the sheet music and singing along. We will be singing the songs during rehearsal, but may not be able to get through everything until closer to the concert, so it is important they spend some time on their own.

4. Fum, Fum, Fum p. 4

About the Choir
This page is for information regarding a new children’s choir in Titusville.
Rehearsals are held weekly on Tuesdays 4:30-5:30pm, but dress rehearsals may be added to prepare for a performance.
- For ages 7-11
- Auditions will be held. Dates TBA, but will be sometime in August 2023
- Rehearsals will be held in my home studio located at 3675 Muirfield Dr in Titusville
- Rehearsals will begin the week of Labor Day (Sept. 8) and will continue through the week of Dec. 4th, with a concert TBA, depending on venue availability.
- Tuition for one semester: $125 per child, includes all rehearsals, concert, and sheet music costs (concert attire will be on your own, but clothes easily found locally)
We will be doing a mixture of classical, traditional, musical theatre, and contemporary music, while working on techniques of good singing, expression, and stage presence. Children’s voices are still developing at that age, so special care will be given to choose music that is appropriate for their age, and also selecting music that is family-friendly.
Interested in joining? Click the link below for my contact info to schedule an audition.
To keep things low-pressure and easy, there is no preparation needed for auditions – your child will be tested on their vocal range, ability to pick a simple melody, and read words.
