The Youth Choir of Central Oregon Program consists of three divisions: Singers’ School, Debut Choir, and the Premiere Choir.
Singers’ School serves first through fourth-grade students in a creative, yet structured, small-class environment. Music and movement activities and beginning vocal skills are presented in a choral music framework. The program is designed to build confidence and teamwork. Older singers also prepare for Debut Choir auditions. Tuition is $150 per ten-week session. The singer school will perform at a public venue, such as the Library or Hospital, as well as conclude with a song at our major public concert. Rehearsals are typically held on Monday's 5:15 - 6:30 PM. Debut Choir serves fifth through eighth-grade students. The Debut Choir is dedicated to growing musicianship. It contributes to the choristers’ musical learning experience by using developmentally appropriate techniques. Note reading, vocal training and performance skills are emphasized. Debut rehearses weekly, and includes those students who have demonstrated vocal ability and enthusiasm for singing. The Choir performs in YCCO’s major public concerts and occasionally performs locally for other events. Rehearsals are typically held on Monday's 4:30 - 6:15 PM. Premiere Choir serves advanced singers in grades eight through twelve. Premiere emphasizes excellence of musicianship and performance. The Choir rehearses weekly and performs more frequently than Debut. Summer touring further broadens these choristers’ maturity, both personally and musically. Touring is optional but strongly encouraged. Rehearsals are typically held on Monday's 6:30 - 8:30 PM.
Please note, rehearsal times are subject to change!
