Jacksonville Children's Chorus

The Vocal Exploration Program is a music class for first through fourth grade students. This ten-week class meets once a week. Each lesson combines learning musical skills, group singing, and play-like activities/games that bring together learning experiences and fun in meaningful ways.

The program is a great way for youngsters to explore their interest in music and singing—potentially preparing them for participation in the Jacksonville Children's Chorus performing choirs. Our hope is that they will bring their developing voices and experience to other learning and group activities in school and beyond. The Vocal Exploration class is focused on learning and vocal development and there will be an opportunity for parents to observe the final class.

Each year, The Jacksonville Children’s Chorus sponsors a day-long program to honor 150 local fourth, fifth, and sixth grade children who have been recognized by their music educators for their singing ability, musical aptitude, and strong work ethic. The children spend the day rehearsing with a nationally recognized clinician and conductor, and the event culminates in a performance of the newly-formed Honors Choir.

The River City Choral Festival and Day Camp is a fun-filled week of music, choral singing, choreography/dance, games, swimming, field trips, and performances – and lots of fun times and new friends!

Classes are split into two sections for children ages 18 months to 3 years old and 3 to 5 years.
