The Happy Valley Children's Chorus has their next concert December 6th, at 1:30, at the First congregational Church of Amherst. The title of the concert is "Funny Friendly Songs."
Sometimes we have a large group of kids, 15 or more. Sometimes we have fewer than 10. Children's lives are just so full these days, or parents cannot get them to the practices, and so participation varies. But whether many or few, every voice that sings is a light on this planet and I am happy to encourage this in our area. Our little chorus accepts kids from age 4 and up, which is something many children's choruses just don't do. But come and see what able singers they are!
I find that when the music is fun and meaningful, kids are hooked. I find that when I hear children sing, my heart is lifted a zillion times higher than when I read about trying to be happy. I find that when a child is singing, they are finding their voices for the rest of their lives. They are learning to be heard. They are learning that they are part of a community and that every voice counts.
Come and join us for our concert. If you have a young singer, contact me for the spring session which will start the first week of March.
"I sing and the song within me, wants to join with the song in you!"
