The program has grown to four separate choruses, “Do-Re-Mi Singers” for grades 1 through 3; “Music Makers Chorus” for grades 4 through 8; “Crescendo (formerly Master Singers) Choir,” an audition-based choir for grades 6 through 8, and “Encore” for grades 9 through 12 (see detailed description for Encore in CE-Adult section). The choir has sung in concert with the Rock Valley Chorale, performed at the Coronado Theater, toured at regional libraries and museums, sung for the opening of a Smithsonian Institute exhibition, participated in youth choral festivals, and performed for public and private civic groups in the Rock Valley College tri-county area. In 2006 the Rock Valley Children’s Choir formed a partnership with the Mendelssohn Performing Arts Center. Each week Leah Baskin, the choir’s director brings a variety of learning experiences and styles to the children’s rehearsals. Weekly rehearsals and optional monthly Saturday workshops provide many occasions for children to grow, both as singers and as responsible citizens. The choir runs throughout the school year with registration and tuition payments done each semester. RVC Children’s Choir – Do Re Mi (Grades 1-3) No auditions required for this beginning choir for eager third, second, and mature first graders. Rehearsals include activities designed to help students become better singers and better musicians. The beginnings of correct vocal technique, ear training games, simple note reading and rhythm reading activities, music games, dancing, and playing simple instruments will be part of our weekly rehearsal (In other words, we have fun while learning!) This choir performs two concerts during each semester along with the older choirs.
