Magic Voices Children’s Choir

The Magic Voices Children’s Choir began as a natural progression from the  pre-instrumental classes for school aged children (prep – grade 6) offered at Music Works Magic. Many children wish to continue the interactive singing experience, enjoying the social aspect of musicking with like-minded friends.

Primary school children (aged 6-12 yrs) are welcome to join our choir. We meet each week for a one hour fun session of singing, playing games, dancing and learning a wonderful varied repertoire. We also begin to learn basic music literacy through a Kodaly based approach, whilst exploring the many essential skills for performing in an ensemble.

We are always happy for new members, believing that all children can learn to sing provided they are immersed in the right environment. We aim to provide the very best musical experiences, singing a range of predominantly folk and traditional music from around the world as well as songs specially composed for children’s choirs.

In this way we explore the entire range of our voices and create a unique learning atmosphere in which the children grow.

Rehearsals

We rehearse for 1 hour each week. Sessions have several focuses, broken up by interactive dances and games.

We ask for a full year commitment so that the choir has the time to develop as a group.
