Through rehearsal, performance and community service, our choristers learn valuable skills that make them stronger musicians, scholars and members of the community! As they sing in our choirs, each singer will work towards determined goals carefully designed to improve their singing, knowledge of music literacy (reading music) and character development. Each girl will grow in confidence, using her voice to uplift herself and those around her! Phoenix Girls Chorus supports girls musically, socially, and emotionally to become a positive force for their community and the world.
