Ella Fitzgerald said the only thing better than singing is more singing — and MORE SINGING is what we’ve been doing at Pro Musica for more than thirty years — helping young people grow, learn, and experience real joy through singing together. There is no better time to be a part of a chorus. Making music together offers much-needed warmth and comfort, and we take COVID precautions seriously so that our singers know that they’re as safe as possible.
Last year, we bundled up for outdoor rehearsals, sang from our bedrooms in Zoom rehearsals, and made video-editing experts out of our artistic staff. This year, we cautiously returned to in-person rehearsals and performances, with enthusiastic kids, supportive parents, and dedicated staff. Being live and in-person is exactly what we need, and hearing these kids sing their way out the door following rehearsal is an absolute joy.
Choral singing has a tremendous and positive impact on well-being. Got an anxious kid at home? Send them our way! Singing brings joy to the singers, the listeners, and the parents — who can stand back and bask for a moment, seeing their children find a second home in the chorus, embrace vulnerability by being safely part of a group, and simply have fun with friends.
Pro Musica is a community-based non-profit group of singers in 2nd grade through high school. We offer a performance-based program that teaches musical skills, promotes poise and personal responsibility, and develops teamwork and leadership through singing a variety of repertoire from challenging classical works to Broadway tunes.
To experience unique performance opportunities and high quality vocal education, come sing with us! Midyear enrollment is open, and no experience is necessary —visit www.promusicayouthchorus.org or email pmyouthchorus@gmail.com.
