Choir Connection

Connect with the Academy Children's Choir!

The Children's Choir is an extraordinary group of students grades 3 - 9 from across the region. This select group performs in concert each semester at the University. They tour, sing for special community events and with professional groups, and perform
at festivals and competitions. If you like to sing and want to connect with kids from all over, this is the group for you! No experience
is necessary to join this group.

Under the direction of Nancy Mathis, the choir will perform music ranging from pop to jazz to classical to sacred. Beginning in the Fall 2009, we will be offering two choirs: Grades 3-6 meet every Monday 4:00-5:30. Grades 6-9 meet every Tuesday 6:00-7:30. 6th graders have the option of joining either choir.

Show Choir Kidz

This ensemble, made up of students from children's choir who like to sing and dance, is charged with energy. The Kidz perform music ranging from Disney to pop to jazz to country, all choreographed for precision and showmanship! The Kidz are led by Gini Law and tour each semester to area schools and perform on the Children's Choir Concerts presented at the University. You must be part of Children's Choir to participate in Show Choir. The group rehearses Wednesday from 4:00-5:30 in the Echols Conference Center.
