Inclined to Sing

The story of Inclined to Sing! Stay tuned tomorrow for a special message from Mr. Kim!

Singing in a children’s choir creates resiliency in children. An increasing body of research is emerging about the importance of creating resiliency in our children the ability to bounce back from life’s challenges and crises, effectively learning from them to become a stronger, wiser person. An education in music is a challenging experience that requires students to continually practice to improve these abilities. Students of music education learn that each road block ...they encounter can eventually be overcome with persistence, discipline and not giving up. It also provides the opportunity to meet amazing people. Children who sing in a choir are presented with the opportunity to meet and work with extremely talented artists and musicians in many different areas of the performing arts. This is a great way to inspire them on their own musical journeys, as they will get to sing music written specifically for them by composers and learn from guest artists who come from a variety of musical backgrounds. What a great way to inspire a deep appreciation for the classical arts. (https://torontochildrenschorus.com/5-unexpected-side-effec/)

We develop ear training skills early in the Apprentice Choir with numbers and the scale. A wonderful moment is when I sing a four-note pattern and the youngsters identify the scale degrees. It is fantastic seeing the ear and brain connect as these skills develop. - Kim Rauch, Founder and Director of Inclined to Sing.
