About NWAA's Youth Choruses

KidSounds, YouthSounds & TeenSounds Northwest demonstrate Northwest Associated Arts' commitment to providing musical education and performance opportunity for young people from grades 3 through 12 in South King County. The three choruses perform together for two mainstage concerts at the Highline Performing Arts Center in Burien.

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: Lucky 7 Foundation, Norcliffe Foundation, City of Burien, JR Mailing Services, Inc, and many individuals & families throughout our community.

Other Season Events

NWAA'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.

Membership 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.
