• Count Me In

    Designed for New York City public middle schools that do not have established music programs, this afterschool initiative provides young singers—many of whom have never studied music before—with community choral experiences and prepares them to audition for performing arts high schools. These intensive workshops include sessions focusing on sight-singing, rhythm, pitch, diction, and audition techniques, while instilling a sense of achievement and connection with fellow participants.

  • You’ve always wanted to sing in a chorus—now’s your chance!
