Children's Choir
Join Art Play Learn's Children's Choir for an unparralleled experience. No other choir listens to the interests of the children and then chooses material based on what kind of music the choir members like and want to sing. Give your child a love of music through singing with peers. Making music together is a unique bonding experience that can lead to lifelong friendships. Culminates in a final class sharing for family and friends. Join us this winter for a heart-warming experience.
