The Training Choir is open to all children in grades 2-5 who love to sing! In weekly rehearsals, singers experience a fun and engaging lesson where they learn fundamental music theory and new vocal technique!

Unlike some of our other choirs, the Training Choir is a semester-based program. Each session is 12 weeks long and takes place in both the fall and spring semesters. On a yearly basis, participating singers receive 60 hours of professional instruction where they learn the basics of reading music and how to cohesively sing with other students. This choir is a performing choir and there will be a minimum of four performances per year, including major seasonal concerts.

Auditions will be held for the Fall Semester and Spring Semester. Auditions are completely free and encouraged for any child who loves to sing!

Full and partial scholarships are available on a financial need basis.

“JCC truly embodies some of the best qualities of team sports: camaraderie, discipline, patience, persistence, and positive mentoring.”

Wali Gomes, JCC Parent

“I was in the Jacksonville Children's Chorus in 1999-2002. It helped me to build long lasting friendships and a greater love for music. To this day I still remember the fun times and great concerts we did in the JCC. I think this organization is great for children of all ages, it helps build confidence and friendships.”

Bethany, Former Member

“Through music and your leadership, these children learn to perform in different languages while experiencing the diversity of an array of world cultures. The understanding they gain will serve them well as they enter adulthood.”

R. Randall Onstead, former President/CEO of Winn-Dixie

“The Chorus expands your musical horizons and helps you grow as a person. You are surrounded with other young people who have something in common…their love of music. I have learned that music does, indeed, bring people and cultures together. The music we sing brings people hope for a better future of understanding and cooperation.”

Jasmine, 16, Touring and Concert Choirs

“Being a part of the JCC has not only allowed Christian to experience the fun, excitement and pleasure of singing with friends, it has also helped him to develop a sense of confidence that comes from life skills of hard work and perseverance.”
