Choirs
Choir 1
A fun selection of educational and silly songs to explore our voices and get first experiences in singing in a group, mixed in with movement games and Orff elements.
Choir 2
Great way to develop vocal skills, musicianship, ensemble singing in multi-part harmony and general love for music. The repertoire includes pop, jazz, songs from musicals and folk tunes.
