Basic Information
| Description: | Founded in 2004 by Sherlin Chan and currently led by Derek Tam, Star Valley Children’s Choir (SVCC) provides quality choral music education to children in the San Francisco Bay Area. Currently based in Millbrae and San Jose, the choir rehearses on Saturdays and Sundays and is divided into three levels that provide a comprehensive music education. Choristers learn vocal technique, music theory and sight-singing through a graded curriculum. Singers explore a wide range of music, including traditional children’s songs, Broadway and popular tunes, as well as the Western classical choral repertoire and songs from other musical traditions. Choristers of all levels have numerous opportunities to perform throughout the year. In addition to twice-annual concerts, SVCC choirs frequently perform at various events, including conventions, festivals, benefits, and media appearances. Singers are also invited to participate in domestic and international tours. SVCC choirs have won awards at multiple competitions. |

| Mission: | The mission of Star Valley Children’s Choir is to provide quality music education to children through outstanding performances. We believe that the participation in the arts, especially choral music, fosters individual development and reinforces the importance of community and collaboration in achieving ever-higher levels of artistic excellence. A quality musical education not only cultivates the mind, but also disciplines the body and nourishes the spirit. Through our three training levels, which provide a comprehensive music education that develops vocal technique, musical literacy, sight-singing and a discerning artistry, children acquire the necessary skills to nourish a lifelong love for music. |
