Then you can bring your child and their registration information to the first class/rehearsal. Thank you!

Introducing Morgan Valley Voices

Morgan Valley Voices is a non-profit music organization that teaches children of all ages to use the one instrument they always have with them -their voice. Using the methods of Zoltán Kodály, singers ages five and up are taught music theory and principles through games and songs.

The young musicians are divided into seven different musical grades and go through a progressive program each year learning new skills that build upon each other. We do not simply teach children how to sing a song. We teach them the foundational skills needed to create music. With those skills, they can learn to sing just about anything. Those same skills will also help them with any other type of instrument or musical program they wish to pursue.

We meet weekly through our winter and spring season, generally beginning our winter season around the start of the Morgan County School District school year, ending the first part of December. Our spring season begins in January and ends in April or May.

At the end of each season we either have a concert or a show case for all of the ensembles to show what they have learned during the season. Each group showcases the music and/or concepts they have learned throughout the season. The Children's Choir concert is always free and open to the public. Due to limited amount of space, the showcases are only for families of students in the group classes.

The classes are so engaging, that often the children are having so much fun they don’t realize they are actually learning.
