||| FROM SHARON HO for MUSIC ADVOCACY GROUP |||
Know a teen or younger kid who loves to sing? Help us spread the word about this fun and rewarding opportunity for island youth to discover their voices, hone their singing skills and share musical harmony with friends. Studies have shown that singing has many powerful effects on the brain, including improving optimism, resilience and feelings of connection to others.
After a successful debut last year, Orcas Youth Chorus (OYC) and Junior Orcas Youth Chorus (JOY Chorus) will begin a new Fall session on Sunday, September 10, led by local choral directors with many years of experience working with fresh, young voices. Youth from all Orcas schools, including home-schooled students, are welcome.
Let’s get our youth to sing!
