Through song, game, and dance in rehearsals and concerts, Liebe Choristers enjoy an engaging atmosphere that builds a foundation as they grow through Northwest Girlchoir. With opportunities to perform on their own and with older singers, choristers also gain confidence singing on stage and connecting with the audience.
In Yǒu Yì, choristers learn healthy vocal technique, music notation, and increased rhythm and pitch accuracy by learning and performing unison and simple two-part choral music.
