Music on the Hill’s Community Children’s Chorus was recently featured in The Redding Sentinel as part of the paper’s March Family 5 round-up of classes and groups for singers of all styles.
The author of the article, Jessie Wright, cites the positive impact singing and musical activities have on children’s development. Professor Graham Welch at the Institute of Education at the University of London is quoted as saying, “Singing is important because it builds self-confidence, promotes self-esteem, always engages the emotions, promotes social inclusion, supports social skill development, and enables young people of different ages and abilities to come together successfully to create something special in the arts.” We couldn't agree more!
Music on the Hill offers a tuition-free Community Children’s Chorus for all children in third through eighth grade who love to sing! Chorus meets Wednesdays from 4:15 - 5:30 p.m. and the Chorus performs several times per year.
As part of the Chorus, children learn music from a variety of cultures and genres; learn vocal production, breath support, and other skills; read music; build teamwork and leadership skills; and build confidence and have fun!
