Attendance: 

All Voices doesn't have an attendance policy, but please try to come as often as you can to get the most out of the experience. Your presence greatly benefits the work of our ensemble. 

What to Expect:

Rehearsals start by breathing and warming up our voices and bodies. We continue by working on songs with the lyrics projected and the notes being taught by ear. When we add harmonies, we break out into "Sectionals" and learn the parts separately. We also try to make time to listen to recordings and reflect together. All rehearsals are accompanied by a live band! 

Repertoire: 

All Voices sings a little of everything! Musical Theatre, Pop, Jazz, Folk, Country, Children's Classics, and songs in different languages. Suggestions welcome! 

Requirements: 

• Children under 15 must be accompanied by an adult

• Child participants must be able to read; lyrics will be projected during rehearsals

• No musical knowledge required
