Philosophy

The philosophy of the Houston Choir Program is founded on the principles of self-motivation, artistic excellence, professionalism, and a strong work ethic. Because each choir is an audition only choir, each student is expected to be 100% committed and invested in their journey to become a young independent musician.

All vocal students must understand that it is a privilege and an honor to be selected in one of the Houston Choirs, and the students should take pride in that privilege. Students must also understand that mastery of any craft takes daily work, effort, and practice. Talent is simply not enough.

Upon being admitted into a choir, students are expected to already have an intermediate level of vocal ability, respective to their age. The foundational and advanced courses provided are designed to meet each student at their ability level and provide opportunities for them to work on specific skills.
