    Our Ottavi & Minima program offers a vibrant, play-based choir experience designed to inspire young children to explore their voices, develop essential musical skills, and cultivate a lifelong love for singing through engaging activities. Participants will discover fundamental musical concepts such as pitch, rhythm, dynamics, and tempo in a supportive environment that encourages healthy vocal development and empowers them to find and confidently use their singing voice. Through interactive games that sharpen their ability to discern musical cues and adapt to changes, children will also hone their active listening skills. Children will explore topics such as the staff, note values, simple rhythmic patterns, solfege, and rhythm reading, laying a solid groundwork for their musical journey. Additionally, the program integrates movement and instrument play to enhance both gross and fine motor skills, fostering a well-rounded musical education. Above all, our Ottavi & Minima community fosters cooperation, builds confidence, and celebrates individual expression, creating a nurturing space where every child can thrive musically and socially.

    Breve offers structured yet engaging choral instruction and music education, serving as a vital stepping stone to the Breve Chamber Choir. The program introduces foundational elements such as sight-singing and basic music theory, and may provide opportunities for performance outside of regular concerts. Theory education covers reading and writing musical notation, key signatures, time signatures, recognizing and singing intervals, and basic chord structures and harmonies. Breve is also a place where essential vocal training happens. Over time, the Breve program will introduce diverse and moderately challenging repertoire to develop vocal technique and musicality, preparing singers to advance to the Chamber Choir.
