Mission and History of NWACS
This choir was founded in the fall of 2013 as a seasonal Christmas choir. Due to the great response of the families involved in the past, and from the community, we have chosen to continue building the choir year by year to nurture and develop children in the joys and discipline of high-quality choral singing.
Our goal will be not only to teach your children songs, but to instruct them in sight reading, proper singing and performance techniques; and most importantly, how to praise God through their music. We will learn 3-part harmony (Soprano, Alto, Bass) and blending techniques.
We are very excited about this summer workshop and look forward to the 2017-2018 Choir Season. If you are interested in joining us in the upcoming school-year session, please feel free to contact the director through our website. We look forward to hearing from you!
