Cantabile Children's Choir seeks to:
- Encourage children to sing well in their "head voice" or "children's voice", building strong, quality vocal instruments that can continue to be shaped as they reach maturity.
- Offer children reasonable rehearsal and performance schedules that allow them to simultaneously succeed in academics, athletics, community, and family activities.
- Expose children to a wide variety of exciting music from the classics to folk to contemporary choral works drawn from many cultures, time periods, and languages.
- Allow children an opportunity to work as a true "team," learning to be flexible and cooperative, aware that they can only succeed together.
- Develop in children a deep love for fine music on-stage and enjoying music as an informed audience member.

Cantabile Children's Choir
Kaleidoscope Show Choir
On Stage & Off currently offers two separate opportunities for choral performance during the school year. Both choirs are by audition only, and are meant to teach music theory, harmony work, and excellence in performance. Auditions are held in the Summer and Fall for both groups. Each group rehearses only once a week and has community performances throughout the greater North Penn area during the winter holiday season and again in the Spring. There is a tuition fee for participation in the choirs, but it is far less expensive and more effective for young students than individual voice lessons! For more information about these opportunities, please contact us at onstageandoff@live.com.
