The Shelburne Community School Choral program provides a welcoming learning environment for students in 5th through 8th grade to think creatively, persevere and have fun singing in a collaborative setting!
The choral program fosters curiosity and confidence as students learn to use their voice to express themselves in an authentic way. Students work on techniques and methodologies that develop their unique skills and abilities as a singer with a focus on healthy vocal production. Working together as an ensemble promotes the growth of social skills as students learn to hear each others voice and engage in quality musical education while building a cultural climate of community.
