MSU Community Music School
Designed for children through adolescents, the Children and Youth Choir program helps students develop their singing voices as they grow. Utilizing teaching styles effective for each of the specific choirs, students will be challenged and engaged at each weekly rehearsal and also have the opportunity to learn through unique and enriching performance experiences. All singers participate in an informal audition to be placed within each ensemble.
