Joining the SRCC Director Carol Menke leads Santa Rosa Children's Chorus

The Santa Rosa Children's Chorus offers a wonderful opportunity for children to experience the joy of singing together.  Our members make music a real part of their lives - and they love it!

Joining the chorus is easy!

We schedule auditions several times during year, at the beginning and end of each semester.  Auditions are open to anyone age 7-14 who is interested.  No previous choral or instrumental experience is required. For the audition, your child should come prepared to sing a song they like.  Through this, we can determine which level of the chorus is right for your child!

Choral Program

Our choral year is from mid August through early June.  We divide the year into two semesters, with mid January being the start of the new semester.  Choristers meet weekly to study and rehearse, concentrating on theory, sight-reading, and consummate vocal technique. Children progress through the Training and Intermediate levels of the Chorus until they reach the Concert Group.

The Training and Intermediate Groups meet on Mondays, from 4:00 PM to 5:30 PM every week.  Tuition for these groups is $260 per semester.

The Concert Group meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 4:00 PM to 5:30 PM every week.  Concert Group members also attend a summer camp in August.  Tuition for the Concert Group is $370 per semester.   Summer camp is an additional fee.

“Musical training is more potent than any other, because rhythm and harmony find their way into the inward places of the soul, imparting grace, and making the soul of him who is rightly educated graceful; and also because he who has received this true education becomes noble and good, he will justly blame and hate the bad now in the days of his youth, even before he is able to know the reason why; and when reason comes, he will recognize and salute the friend with whom his education had made him long familiar.”

- A Quote from Plato on the value of music education
