CHILDREN'S CHORUS
Annette Meyer Studios established the children's chorus as a means of teaching children to improve their voices and to learn how to harmonize with others. Using music they love, with techniques that work, our staff not only improves the overall voice, but all components that go with it; such as posture, projection and articulation.
Throughout the year, we offer our annual choirs, as well as summer boot-camps in classical/theatre voice training, and yearly weekend choir cabaret's, which offer voice classes in a more intimate setting for a more hands-on approach. We teach how to read music on the staff and much more!
