Riverworks Children's Choir

Class Description

Thursdays from 5-6 PM Winter/Spring semester: January 16th - June 5th $50 for supplies/concert fee per semester (scholarships available, please select pay in person on registration page) The Riverworks Children's Choir is a vibrant and inclusive program designed to foster a multigenerational sense of community through the joy of music. Directed with care and expertise, our choir brings children together to explore their voices, build foundational musical skills, and experience the magic of group singing in a fun and supportive environment. Target Audience: While our primary focus is on children ages 8-12, we welcome singers of other ages who are eager to join in the fun and creativity of making music together. What We Offer: Musical Growth: Through engaging rehearsals, children develop vocal technique, rhythm, pitch, harmony, and confidence in performing. Collaborative Opportunities: We work closely with Yunique Music School, allowing choir members to benefit from a dynamic partnership with other talented musicians and ensembles. Performance Experiences: The choir participates in several performances throughout the year, giving children opportunities to share their hard work and talent with the community. A Sense of Belonging: Singing in a choir encourages teamwork, empathy, and connection, fostering bonds that reach across generations and strengthen our local community. Our Directors: The choir is directed by Christina Carr, a Juilliard-trained opera singer and an active member of the Poolesville community since 2018, and Sarah Paksima, a dedicated Poolesville Town Commissioner and active community leader. Christina and Sarah are both inaugural members of the Riverworks Reserve Wind Ensemble, bringing their deep love for music and their commitment to enriching the local arts scene into every rehearsal. Our Commitment: At the Riverworks Children's Choir, we believe in creating a welcoming, inclusive space where all children feel valued and inspired. Our goal is to spark a lifelong love of music while having fun and making cherished memories along the way. Whether your child is an experienced singer or simply loves to hum along to their favorite songs, the Riverworks Children's Choir invites them to join us in a journey of learning, growth, and joy. Let’s make music together!
