Education

Music is a universal language that enhances cognitive development and emotional intelligence. At Arlington Children's Chorus (ACC), we integrate comprehensive music education into every rehearsal, incorporating elements of mathematics and foreign languages. Our innovative teacher education program serves as a 'living laboratory' for aspiring educators and choral directors. By enrolling your child in ACC, you're investing in their lifelong learning and appreciation for the arts.

Responsibility

Collaborative music-making fosters creativity and learning while cultivating responsibility and social awareness. Our choristers learn to be good stewards of the community through teamwork and service projects. These experiences teach our children gratitude and appreciation, helping them understand the importance of giving back. Through music, we nurture not just voices, but character.

ACC is more than a chorus; it's a community where children forge enduring friendships and social networks. We take pride in the supportive atmosphere our choristers create, especially the mentorship between older and younger members. These connections build trust, empathy, and essential life skills that extend far beyond the stage. Reliance and trust in others and others trusting and relying on you... these are just some of the benefits our children learn while developing life skills.

One of our principal goals is to ignite a passion for performance and community engagement in every chorister. With varied performance opportunities throughout the season, our children learn to shine both individually and as an ensemble. All tiers perform at least three times per season, with our advanced Bel Canto tier taking on additional engagements. We are honored to hold the prestigious position of 'Children's Chorus in Residence' at The John F. Kennedy Performing Arts Center in Washington, D.C. Our annual highlight is our participation in seven performances of the beloved Nutcracker Ballet, a testament to the exceptional talent and dedication of our young artists. Join us in harmonizing young voices and shaping bright futures through the transformative power of choral music.
