Basic Information

Description: VOENA welcomes children of all levels of vocal and musical experience. No experience is necessary and there are no auditions to join. Whether your child is new to singing, or is looking to gain experience performing and furthering their musical skills, all are welcome -- only desire is required. Vocal skills, musical instruments and dance are incorporated into the rehearsals and performances. Training is fun and builds confidence and self-esteem through excellence.

VOENA has three choir rehearsal sites, the Benicia Choir, the Napa Choir, and the NEW Petaluma Choir. Four levels of musical development are offered: Preparatory; Intermediate; Concert; and Girls Ensemble. Children and youth will be evaluated on an on-going basis for each level during rehearsals. Advancement in levels is at the sole descretion of the director based on level readiness.
