HELLO SONGBIRDS!
GROUP CHOIR PROGRAM
No one in the world owns a more unique instrument than their voice. Not one person’s voice is the same as another. Every voice is as beautiful as the next! Our choir program is designed to bring people together through the joy of music in a fun, supportive, and inspiring environment. Whether for children building confidence and musical foundations, or adults looking to connect with music, creativity, and community, our choirs help develop vocal skills, teamwork, performance, and self-expression — all while creating meaningful connections through singing together. No prior choir experience is required — just a love for music and a willingness to learn and grow. The Choir is open to everyone who loves to sing!
WHY JOIN 88KEYS’ CHOIR PROGRAM?
Students joining our choir program – led by Mr. Mahdi – will learn how to:
- Use their voices in a healthy manner: Like any other instrument, your voice needs care and attention. You will learn how to make sure that it stays in great shape. Our Choir program will teach you how to care for your voice and sing without harming your vocal chords.
- Sing in pitch: Learning proper technique helps to exercise your voice. It teacher how to expand your vocal range, and make it easier to hit those notes that you felt like you couldn’t before!
- Use proper singing technique: Using proper breathing technique and enunciating words are important for strengthening your voice and enhancing your performance skills.
- Sing with other students in a choir: Learning how to sing with others allows you to gain musical experience and train your ear in a way that you would not be able to do in an individual setting. Learning with the support of peers also helps to build confidence!
