The New York City Choral Music Initiative has produced inspiring results. Children learn a variety of techniques and methods as well as the joy of musical expression.
Teachers actively participate in choral sessions and help organize concerts.
Choral directors and educators have the freedom to shape the program according to the particular needs of the students and school. Resultantly, the music and curriculum of each individual program embodies the character of those that shape it. Below you will find brief descriptions of the programs in each of the schools involved with the Initiative this year. 170 Sondra Booze-Bailey , a gifted musician with over twenty years experience leading children's choirs, has been working with the teachers and students at PS 198 for six years. This year, through the Choral Initiative, she is working with 3rd, 4th and 5th graders.
