Boychoir auditions for spring semester

The Silicon Valley Boychoir for boys (ages 7 and up) rehearses in Palo Alto.
Mission statement: To train boys in the choral art with an emphasis on music literacy and the highest artistic standards. Boys will learn life-long skills and go forth into the world as skilled tenors and basses and leaders in their future choirs.

The Silicon Valley Boychoir offers boys an opportunity for excellent vocal training, music literacy, and artistic achievement.

What makes Silicon Valley Boychoir different?
Convenient flex-time scheduling.
Perfect for busy families! Beginning boys have a choice of two rehearsal days and can switch at their convenience. Rehearsals are held before the dinner hour. All boys can choose their musicianship class day to best fit their schedule. Upper level singers have an opportunity to graduate out of the musicianship class.
A personalized approach to singing and skill building.
Small musicianship classes allow for vocal coaching and individualized instruction in learning to read music and understand music theory. These musical skills apply and translate to other musical contexts and interests (such as musical instruments). The small classes ensure individual attention, and boys do not get lost in a crowded setting. Each boy is taught sight-reading and given skills to create a strong, independent, and confident singer.
Family and community-centered.
Community building is an important feature of SVB. Boys of all levels join together for special rehearsals combined with family potlucks and recreation time. Boys perform in concert with their choir level and join together all voices in pieces at each concert. Life-time friendships are formed among boys who love to sing.

Skilled teachers.
Our dedicated and talented directors have decades of experience working as voice teachers, vocal coaches, and conductors. They have trained singers for local performances and national competitions as well as coached singers to perform with the Bay Area’s leading music organizations including: San Francisco Opera, San Francisco Symphony, Opera San Jose, West Bay Opera, and Peninsula Symphony.
