Opportunities for area elementary school students & teachers
Music Teacher Outreach
Elementary and middle school music teachers are invited to observe Young Voices rehearsals at any time. Directors Jena Dickey and Margie Camp are available to travel to metro area elementary and middle schools at no cost to serve as guest clinicians or as observers who can offer feedback to the choir and teacher.
Singer Outreach
Young Voices of Colorado offers several special outreach programs for area elementary and middle school singers throughout the year.
Music teachers who would like more information on any of these outstanding programs should submit the form at the bottom of this page.
School Tours
On two days in April, our Young Voices choirs travel to area schools in Arapahoe and Douglas Counties to demonstrate the opportunities available in choral singing. In 25-minute school assemblies, our choirs entertain and inspire their audiences, while our teacher/conductors engage the school populations in singing rounds with the choir. We conclude each concert by congratulating the school’s choir members and encouraging other students to participate in their school music programs. To invite us to your school, please call us at 303-797-SING (7464) or fill out the form below. We do not charge for this opportunity!
