terra choir

Directed by Julia Copeman-Haynes

Accompanied by Michael Park

Welcome to Terra Choir! Designed for singers in grades 1-4, Terra Choir is a non-auditioned group where no prior experience is required!

The name “Terra” means “earth” in Latin, reflecting our commitment to nurturing the foundational skills of choral singing just as the earth nurtures growth. “Terra” symbolizes the solid ground upon which young singers can cultivate their skills and a lifelong passion for music! 

Through interactive and fun-filled activities, children will explore the basics of vocal techniques, musicianship and basic music literacy, and ensemble performance, all while building confidence and developing a lifelong love for music.

Join us and let your child’s musical journey begin with Terra Choir!
