About NWAA’s Youth Choruses
In a time of radical funding cuts to music programs in the schools, these ensembles provide an important and life-changing opportunity for students to learn through the discipline of music. Along the way, audiences are delighted with the entertaining performances of these dedicated young singers. The goal of KidSounds, YouthSounds & TeenSounds Northwest is to foster a love of singing by engaging a wide variety of music repertoire. Proper vocal technique, theory and artistry are emphasized with an eye towards developing well-rounded young musicians. The NWAA young people’s music education program is funded, in part, by the generous support of: Fred Meyer Foundation, Target, Charlotte Martin Foundation, City of Burien, and many individuals & families throughout our community. Other Season EventsNWAA’s youth choruses are frequently invited to participate in community events throughout the south Seattle area, including the Burien Strawberry Festival, the Burien Arts Showcase, and various benefit concerts. In 2006, the ensembles participated, along with several other community amateur arts groups, in a performance of Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana at Benaroya Hall in Seattle. MembershipMembership in any of NWAA’s youth choruses is open to all young people from grade 3 to 12 who would like to gain the experience of singing with an ensemble, by way of an audition with conductor Paula Hawkins. |
