Passport to Boychoir
Our Passport to Boychoir program, led by Edy Dreith, is for young singers who would like to sing without the pressure of an audition or mainstage concert. Each session runs for 6 weeks, one evening a week, and includes singing, playing instruments, games, and stories. Boys practice fundamental skills in music and ensemble singing. Learning is experiential and play-based. No audition necessary.
Spring session: February 24 – April 2, 2020
Choose either the Monday or Thursday session at 4:30-5:15PM
