LEARN MORE ABOUT THE PICCOLO JUNIOR CHOIR

For aspiring young singers, the Piccolo Junior Choir provides a fun and energetic introduction to singing. Class activities include vocal techniques, music appreciation, games, rhythm, and movement. Piccolo singers also learn beginner percussion instruments and gain an introductory understanding of written music. This group performs twice per year in combined concerts with our other choirs, and in the annual Peace River South Festival of the Arts (usually mid-April). The Piccolo program is great for early learners who are hotwired for performance, and it’s a great place to start in their discovery of the performing arts.
