On Monday, September 25, Dr. Caron Daley and the Duquesne University Voices of Spirit chamber choir visited North Hills. Dr. Daley spent some time working with a Symphonic Choir class, then the VOS performed a mini-concert for all choir students in our auditorium. After school, the North Hills Singers talked with the collegiate singers, shared some rehearsal time together, and then Dr. Daley worked with NH. It was a great day of working together and learning about music! Just to add yet another layer of communication, we've created a page to post copies of e-mail announcements from the North Hills Choral Parents Association on this site. So, if you're not sure that you have been receiving messages, or maybe you deleted something accidentally, you can refer back to this site. Just click on the "Choral Parents Association" menu option and choose the "Announcements" page to find what you need. Fundraising forms will remain where they have been in the past, on the "Forms & Handouts" link. We hope this helps to keep our communication running even more smoothly!   The PYCO SoM Youth Choir is a mixed voice choir for students in 8th - 12th grade. 7th graders may join by audition. This program provides the opportunity for interested singers to enhance their understanding of proper vocal techniques, sight-reading, and music theory, through a variety of classical and contemporary choral repertoire. Students will also learn proper audition etiquette, and have the opportunity to improve their stage presence through exciting performance and recording opportunities. Performances will be professional and engaging, with concert repertoire catered to the choir's talents and interests. Youth Choir members are automatically eligible to join the Pittsburgh Youth Concert Orchestra on their upcoming tour of Italy in July 2018, with performances in Venice, Florence, and Rome.
Our Philosophy It is our philosophy that music and singing are gifts to be enjoyed by all! As such, there is no prior experience required to be involved in the choir and no audition for students in grades 8 and above. All that is needed is a desire to learn about music and a love of singing. There are many psychological, social, developmental, and physical benefits to singing, and it is our aim to help young singers improve their instruments and their knowledge of musical concepts in a fun, engaging, and supportive learning environment.
