Our Program

children singing in chorus

The Chester Children's Chorus is a year-round organization that focuses on ... you guessed it ... the children of Chester. Throughout the academic year, CCC students encounter a plethora of positive experiences -- both musically and academically. From the maturation of their vocal talents via rehearsals and concerts, to the skill-building efforts of the math practice program, all of our students show continuous improvement in a variety of areas. In the summer, a rigorous five-week, full-day learning program focuses on music, math, science, art, swimming, and other areas of interest. Everyone involved truly benefits.

Rehearsals

  • During the school year each child attends two of the 15 weekly small-group rehearsals. 

Music Education

  • Each student receives grade-appropriate instruction in music education with emphasis on sightreading, understanding theory, hearing and singing harmony, appreciating musical artistry, and learning and performing classical music.

  • Advanced performers sing classical masterworks with Swarthmore College Chorus and Media Chamber Chorale.

Piano

  • Piano, theory, and composition lessons are given to advanced musicians.

Concerts

  • The CCC performs 10-12 community-wide concerts  each year in the Delaware Valley.
