Why Choose Newport County Youth Chorus?


For many parents, choosing an activity that is both enriching and enjoyable for their kids can be a challenge. The Newport County Youth Chorus offers just that—a space where young voices not only grow in skill but also in confidence and community. In a world where screens dominate, the chorus is a refreshing outlet where kids can express themselves, build connections, and develop lifelong musical abilities in a fun and engaging environment.


Making Music Fun and Accessible


We know that not every child joins with a dream of becoming a musician, and that’s okay! At Newport County Youth Chorus, we focus on creating a positive, supportive environment where kids can discover music in a way that feels approachable and enjoyable.


Here’s how we make music both fun and educational:

  • Interactive Rehearsals: Our rehearsals are designed to be lively and interactive. Rather than long, lecture-style sessions, we incorporate games, hands-on exercises, and team activities to keep kids engaged and learning actively.

  • Diverse Song Choices: The kids sing a variety of songs, from modern favorites to traditional classics, keeping things fresh and relatable. This mix helps them connect with different styles, enriching their musical ear and broadening their repertoire.

  • Personalized Attention: Every child’s voice is unique, and we value that. Our instructors make it a point to nurture each singer’s individual strengths, building both skill and confidence.


Building Skills That Go Beyond Music


While singing is at the core of what we do, the benefits reach far beyond. Confidence, teamwork, and creativity are all core outcomes we aim to foster.


Here’s how the Newport County Youth Chorus builds these invaluable life skills:

  • Confidence Boosting Performances: Public performances give kids a sense of accomplishment and pride. They learn to face an audience with confidence, a skill that’s as valuable in the classroom as it is on the stage.

  • Teamwork Through Ensemble Singing: Being part of a choir is a team effort. Each voice plays a role, teaching kids the importance of collaboration and listening to others. The friendships built here often last beyond the rehearsal room!

  • Creative Expression: We encourage kids to express themselves creatively through music, helping them unlock their potential and learn the power of personal expression.
