The North Shore Children's Choir is a community choir for children aged 9 - 12 years (Years 5 - 8). We sing many different styles of songs from Early Music through to the Twentieth Century (including songs from movies and musicals). We aim to introduce the children to a variety of styles while helping them to learn correct singing and breathing techniques.
The choir perform many times throughout the year as they develop together as a group. From introductory concerts in simple venues such as local retirement homes through to large scale concerts such as the Bruce Mason centre, each child in the choir has the opportunity to perform in many different environments.
Rehearsals are taken by the musical director, Mrs Vanessa Kay, every Wednesday. These rehearsals are often broken down into intensive sectionals, voice matching, singing techniques, breathing techniques, sightsinging, basic musical knowledge and ensemble awareness. With Vanessa''s knowledge of teaching and music, she combines all these skills into a fun and enjoyable atmosphere.
