Singing
A - Z is
inspired by the belief that by sharing in the spirit and joy of singing
together, children learn they are part of a community that cares about
and values them.

"Your
presentation is an outstanding example of the tremendous value music has
to the educational program of a school. It
included information in the areas of social studies, science, language
arts, and the fine arts that could be incorporated into units using our
standards for those areas. The
children were able to have fun while listening, singing and performing
with the group. They were
introduced to great singing voices and some unique musical instruments.
Every student and staff member enjoyed the program and felt
uplifted by the musical experience.
Principal,
Ketcham
Elementary School
The
children enjoy singing with the chorus and hearing an excellent
performance of a wide variety of music drawn from the many cultures that
make up our society. They
learn the background of the music and the historical importance of music
in the lives of their own families.
Although the children have been preparing for the performance, it
is always a joy to see their eyes light up when the chorus starts
singing a song they have practiced during their music classes.
There is no question that music fosters personal creativity and
also the ability to work together in harmony.
It has been a pleasure to work with Singing A Z.
