Teora Children’s Choir Program
Vision and Purpose
The Teora Children’s Choir is built on the formative model of children’s choirs, an educational approach that emphasizes the process of musical and personal growth over the final performance. Our program is designed for children ages 5 to 8 and focuses on nurturing their holistic development through music helping them discover their voice, build confidence, and grow in character while learning the joy of singing.
Musically, the choir embraces a diverse range of styles from classical and gospel to jazz, pop, and world music offering children a rich and well-rounded experience.
The program offers Casual Singing for children who wish to enjoy singing as a creative, fun, and community-based activity along a final Performance. This program will prepare those who want to pursuit further development stage presence, polish repertoire, and shine in concerts and community events.
