Coastal Sound Kids is a nurturing,”song game” type environment where young singers learn healthy singing, stage presence, music reading and song mapping, movement and the social skills needed to make music in a group. Musical Theatre, Folk Songs, Classics and more are included in the variety of songs selected. Music learning has never been so much fun and so positive- a real boost for the confidence of young children.

Junior Choirs
grades 3-7
Coastal Sound Junior Choirs focus on learning to sing with healthy tone and vocal technique, more challenging music and a variety of musical styles. We will have two Junior Choirs so that we can group singers by age and ability. The Juniors may perform alone and together throughout the season. The Junior Choirs are a good fit for children who love singing and want to explore all kinds of music! Coastal Sound Junior Choirs attend workshops and perform in the community.
A free Theory & Sight-singing class is offered at 4:30 for Junior Choristers.
Transforming lives through music
Grow personally, express your artistry, and build meaningful connections through the joy of singing. Our Treble Choirs can sing together as one choral group but they mostly rehearse and perform as individual choirs to best meet the specific music learning and vocal needs of each stage of musical and social/ emotional development. We’re serious about making music learning joyful, playful and creative, while striving for musical excellence, friendships and learning healthy vocal technique and music theory!
Introductory Choral Training
For singers with any level of prior music experience or those who are brand new to choir.
Skill Development
Focus on healthy vocal technique and musicianship, stage performance skills, choral choreography.
Leadership & Community
Solo singing on mic and public speaking opportunities, team building, nurturing friendships and self confidence.
Performance Experience
At least 3 performances per year, plus other community concerts.
How to Join
1
Request a placement interview here. Interviews are simply a chance to meet the conductor and find the right choir placement for singers.
2
Placement Interviews are friendly, short and informal. They will either be done in person, or via Zoom.
Singers should prepare a simple song they know (Happy Birthday or O Canada are fine if you can’t think of anything else!). Vocal assessments are about 10 minutes long, and will feel like a mini voice lesson.
3
Upon acceptance, pay registration fees and attend weekly rehearsals and performances. Kids and Junior Choirs perform at least 3 times per season from September to June.
