About Hilliard Youth Choir

Please register by October 13th for the Fall 2025 Season!

The Hilliard Youth Chorus is a non-auditioned chorus of singers with unchanged voices (treble clef ranges) in grades 1-7 who want to have fun, make new friends, and sing beautiful music. No prior singing experience is necessary. The goal of the Hilliard Youth Chorus is to help kids develop good singing technique, expose them to new songs and musical styles, and empower them to find their voices through music!

The choir is directed by Meredith Kennedy, who loves making music with children of all ages! She has taught vocal music in several K-12 programs in Ohio and Northern Virginia. These positions allowed her to direct children’s choirs and musicals, while inspiring a community of young musicians. Meredith earned her degree in Music Education from Capital University and a master’s degree in Education from George Mason University. Ms. Kennedy teaches at Washington Elementary School, where she can be found singing, dancing, drumming, playing ukulele, and teaching students how to find joy in making music!

There is a seasonal participation fee of $50 for this choir, which supports the costs of directors, accompanists, sheet music, etc.
