Two of our students are enthusiastic members of the TCI Youth Chorale who performed on Saturday afternoon at the Edward Gartland Youth Centre. Singing together as a choir and also performing solos, they amazed the audience with their talented voices. It was great to hear the song, ‘A Friend Like Me’ again from our Christmas Show, ‘Cinderella Rockerfella’. It was sung beautifully and brought back a flood of happy memories
Congratulations to all the choir for a very entertaining performance. Well done also to piano teacher Wendy, vocal coach Addison and supporter Marilyn, and thank you for all your efforts and dedication in providing this opportunity for our youth.
Chorus America’s 2009 Chorus Impact Study has suggested that being part of a choir has a powerfully positive impact on its participants, as well as on the communities in which they live. They found benefits included developing advanced social skills and the ability to be a team player and also indicated that it can lead to higher grades in school as it promotes good memory, good practice and homework habits, and high levels of creativity.
The Youth Chorale is open to youth aged between 10 and 19 and I know there are some budding Provo Primary students who can’t wait to be old enough join this September, or the future. If you know someone who would be interested, the Chorale meet on Monday evenings from 6-7 p.m. at the Youth Centre and they can call 331-7176 for more information.
