Calling all 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th Graders in the Wayne County and Northeast Ohio Region...The Wayne Center for the Arts Children’s Chorus is a treble choral ensemble dedicated to striving for excellence in the art of choral music. This ensemble is open to students in grades 4 through 7 with unchanged or treble voices in the greater Wayne County and Northeast Ohio region. Students are placed in this ensemble through individual voice placements prior to the start of the school year. A voice placement provides the director with the opportunity to get to know each student, their voice, and their musical skills. The Children's Chorus rehearses once a week on Monday evenings from 6:00pm-7:30pm and performs 2 concerts per year. This ensemble will perform a wide variety of choral repertoire developmentally appropriate for children’s voices. Emphasis will be placed on developing healthy vocal technique, music literacy skills, and choral ensemble skills. Through participation in the children’s chorus, students will experience the joy of singing and develop skills to be lifelong independent choral musicians and supporters of the arts.
