HWAT WE DO AND HOW WE DO IT

OUR APPROACH:

Inspired by the Kodály Method, Proven by 25 Years of Practice.

Carnegie_front_tall.jpg

Beginning with playful, age-appropriate singing, our students are growing all the way to advanced vocal training, performance, and travel.

 

In our classes we incorporate principles of the Kodály Method, a proven, child-centered approach to music education that helps students develop strong musical skills through singing, movement, hand signs, and rhythm games.​

 

Our use of Kodály helps children not only sing better, but understand music deeply, giving them the tools to become confident, expressive performers for life.

​

Many children begin their musical journey in our youngest choir groups and grow with Campanella, developing their voices step by step until they are ready for the advanced Concert Choir.

 

Others, seeking a higher level of vocal training and more challenging repertoire, audition for the Concert Choir.

 

Wherever they start, each singer receives the support, structure, and inspiration to thrive.

CHORAL PROGRAMS

DISCOVER. GROW. PERFORM.

Small Groups, Big Growth, Lifelong Confidence.

At Campanella, we welcome kids and teens (ages 3 to 18) at every level of musical experience.

Our choir groups are thoughtfully arranged by age and ability, ensuring that each child is placed where they can thrive.

In our small group settings, every singer receives the individual attention they need to grow at their own pace—supported, encouraged, and appropriately challenged, but not pressured.

Whether your child is just discovering their voice or ready for advanced repertoire, Campanella is a place where they can develop with confidence and joy.

AGES 3-4
