ChoirKids
ChoirKids is a non-auditioned choir program delivered through the Victoria Conservatory of Music’s Community Outreach into local Elementary schools, with prime focus on schools serving children in marginalized communities. ChoirKids fosters a love for singing and appreciation for all music. No experience is necessary, with all music being learnt by ear, and including at times light choreography.

This program is typically delivered to four to six schools, serving one to three classes per week of up to 20 students per class, and over a total of up to 30 weeks during the school year.
