The Austin Children’s Choir has a long history of providing the children of Austin and surrounding communities with a rewarding music program that gives them the opportunity to learn and perform outstanding choral music. We strive to give our singers a fulfilling and rewarding musical experience, to make our program accessible to all children no matter their musical experience or socioeconomic status, and have fun doing it! We accept all singers who audition into our program. Singers in The Austin Children’s Choir range from grades K – 12 with a variety of musical backgrounds and experiences.
The Austin Children’s Choir provides an opportunity for rich musical expression in the live music capital of the world. Studies suggest that musical training can help students in all school subjects, social interactions, and self-esteem.
While rehearsals are focused on producing beautiful music, the artistic staff will also foster development in music literacy and appreciation through lessons in music reading, critical listening, and music theory.
The artistic staff of the choir is comprised of outstanding and proven music educators from the Austin area who hold Bachelors and advanced degrees in Music Education and Conducting. Directors of the choir have taught at the Elementary, Middle School, and High School levels.
Many alumni of The Austin Children’s Choir have gone on to pursue careers in the arts, such as music education, performance, and theater in Texas and around the country.
