SING!

Give your Children the Chance of a Lifetime

The Sing! Program is a free, after-school choral initiative open to students in Santa Barbara County 1st through 6th grade. Performance opportunities include concerts and collaborations with the Music Academy family of artists, including a recent appearance with the London Symphony Orchestra.

The program’s objectives are to help children:

Discover and develop their ability to imagine and express themselves through music.
Gain confidence in using their voice to communicate ideas and emotions.
Work together to create something larger than themselves.
Learn about people and cultures from around the world through singing.
Foster a lifelong love for listening to and making music.

Register your child for Sing! Rehearsals begin Sept 12.
