About Choir

ChiME Time Choir is an after-school program for students who seek a deeper level of engagement in addition to their weekly classroom music class and who love to sing. Students will learn, rehearse, and perform vocal music in a group setting, while also working on leadership skills, relationship building, and teamwork. ChiME teaching artists will cultivate an atmosphere of collaboration and model effectiveness, respect, and self-growth. They will engage students in choosing repertoire, setting goals, identifying strategies to reach the goals, and making some creative decisions.
