Call for Singers
Westrick Music Academy (WMA), home of Princeton Girlchoir and Princeton Boychoir, is currently enrolling youth in grades 1 and 2 for their Poco Voce Choir, a program that builds and strengthens young musicianship skills.
This non-auditioned music class explores the young singer’s voice. During each session, children will focus on tone development and fundamental musical skills through fun and engaging games and activities.
Poco Voce class will be held every Wednesday from September 29 through December 1, 5 to 5:45 p.m.. This choir for young singers is $175 for 10 sessions.
