Children Singing in a Choir_edited.jpg

Valley Community Youth Choirs develops community through singing, acting, and performing. We cultivate a joyful, inclusive environment and inspire and uplift others through community performances.

Home: Welcome

Choirs and Classes

Our choir and drama program is designed to meet the needs of children from babies and toddlers through 12th grade. We care deeply about the children and strive to provide a loving environment where each child feels like an important part of the group.  We believe in the power of singing and acting to shape the child into someone with confidence, compassion, and leadership skills.

Music Makers

Music Makers is for children ages 3-5. Through playful activities, games, and movement, participants work together to make music. Each class includes practice on in-tune singing, steady beat, and early music literacy skills. Emphasis is on joyfully making music!

Alegría (Joy)

Alegria is for children in 1st-2nd grade. Participants will engage in playful music making to develop singing intonation, performance skills, and early music literacy skills, including rhythmic, melodic, and partwork skills. Plenty of movement, games, and fun will anchor this experience.
