The Geelong Youth Choir and The Gift of Song

At the Geelong Youth Choir, each song we teach is carefully choosen t offer young singers a diverse repertoire of quality music.  Each song is a gift; one which remains with the recipient throughout their life.

Through the "gift of song" choristers learn the language of music.  How to read it, understand it, perform it and how to create their own music using the skills and knowledge obtained.

The broad range of music offers choristers the opportunity to discover more about their own musical tastes.  They can then use the skills and knowledge to further explore their musical interests throughout their lives.

While the repertoire is strongly focused on music education, there are many other positive benifits that are gained.  The sharing and creating process itself is uplifting and life-enriching.

The Geelong Youth Choir has been giving these gifts to the young people of Geelong since 1988, when the choir was founded by Mrs Eileen Martin.
