Other than private lessons, there are no other community chorus or theater opportunities offered for the younger children of Hocking County.  The chorus is committed to providing quality music instruction and strives to create an environment in which children can experience the joy of singing, develop confidence and become a vital part of a musical team. Children are also introduced to the basics of acting, dance, choreography, and theater.
