Steinbach Children's & Youth Chorus

About the Program

This is an excellent program for young singers in Grades 2-4 & 5-8 to develop fundamental musical abilities in a group environment. With a diverse repertoire, students will enjoy attending the engaging weekly rehearsals. Our young musicians will benefit from this creative outlet where they can express themselves musically in a safe space and rediscover the joy that the arts can bring to their daily lives. As part of the program, the children will have the chance to perform for the local community audience on three occasions throughout the year.

MISSED CLASSES
Since SYC is a full-year program, there are sometimes weather cancellations or sick days. If class is cancelled, we will send out an email and give parents as much notice as possible. We do not refund class fees on a class-by-class basis. Instead, we guarantee our kids 25 classes during the year. If cancellations reach that point, then we will send out refunds to the parents for all missed classes.

CLASS MINIMUM
Programs are subject to cancellation if the minimum number of registrants is not reached. In this case, a full refund (or an account credit) will be issued including membership and administration fees. We inform registering students as soon as possible when we have canceled a program.

PUBLIC HEALTH RECOMMENDATIONS
Classes are subject to change in keeping with the latest Public Health recommendations. If anything about your class changes, you will be notified as soon as possible.

FULL CLASSES

Our classes have a limited number of spots each season. If a class you’re interested in indicates CLASS FULL, you can still join our waitlist by emailing cassandra@steinbacharts.ca! We will contact you via e-mail or phone if a spot has opened so we can take your registration. We cannot guarantee admission to the class even when you have joined our call list.

In most cases, we open the same class in the next season. You can check back on our website from time to time or sign up for our SAC eNews to get updates about current and upcoming classes/events here.
