Do you have a child who loves to sing?
The VIS Noteworthy Kids Choir, led by VIS choir director Patricia Plumley, is the perfect choir for children aged 7 through 12 with or without choir experience. Through weekly rehearsal, choir members will have fun learning how to sing, perform and express themselves onstage through music in a fun group setting.
There are so many physical, mental and social benefits to singing in a choir. From improving breathing, posture and muscle tension to increasing memory & wellbeing and reducing stress, choir members will meet new friends, build a sense of community and develop ways to express themselves and their feelings through singing.
At the end of the session the Noteworthy Kids Choir will perform with the Vancouver Island Symphony 6 times.
- 2 performances in Courtenay BC for every Gr. 4 class in school district 71
- 3 performances in Nanaimo for every Gr. 4 class in school district 68
