How many performances do the choirs have every year?

It depends on the choir but it can be as many as 7-10 performances a year. 

Do singers learn any music theory in addition to vocal technique?

All singers in every choir take a Musicianship class each week in addition to their regular rehearsal. Our Musicianship instructors are trained in Kodaly as well as choral methods. Musicianship classes are part of your child's yearly tuition.

Yes! Many of the singers in each choir are homeschooled. KCC is a great way to socialize and learn music skills at the same time.

Rehearsals are on Tuesday evenings at Wright State University.
