Mary Buckerfield White Choral Program

Kits Point Chorale

Instructor: Kimerica Parr
Recommended for: Ages 7-12
Class Description: Our choir is a fun and welcoming place for young singers of all experience levels. We’ll explore a wide variety of musical styles—from classical and folk music to musical theatre and even a splash of 1950s pop! Singers will learn to sing in unison, two-part harmony, and even try a bit of three-part singing as the term progresses. There will be light choreography to bring the music to life, and every child will have the chance to shine. Most importantly, it’s all about having fun, building confidence, and making music together in a supportive and joyful environment.
