Youth Chorus

Based in Brooklyn, NY

At Brooklyn Youth Chorus, when we train singers, we nurture their voices and ambitions. Singing with a group exposes young people to what's possible - in music, their future careers, and in their community. They begin to understand that they belong in all spaces, that their voices matter.

We consider a young voice a resource that needs care, encouragement and time to blossom. The old-fashioned notion of learning by doing is alive here, paired with a modern, healthy approach so our singers can develop and thrive. Our singers are taught repertoire from a wide array of genres, featuring a broad representation of composers.

Our students learn to work as a team. We take a collaborative approach to learning, with the teacher as the facilitator, resulting in accountability to themselves and their peers. The skills derived from music experience carry over into all areas of life. The effort and time students put into chorus is visible and empowering.
