Making music accessible for all

410304_01

Every child deserves the gift of music.

Group music education benefits wellbeing and helps children socially, academically and developmentally.

The team at Melbourne Youth Chorale believes every child should be able to access quality music education, build lasting friendships and develop self-confidence.

Melbourne Youth Chorale in Hampton Park is a choir for anyone aged 6 to 20 without prejudice.

No auditions or previous experience are necessary for joining.

As well as choir groups, MYC provides a comprehensive Kodaly music theory program, enabling children of all backgrounds and abilities to learn the building blocks of music through to VCE/university level.

All MYC’s programs operate on a ‘donate what you can afford’ basis, eliminating financial barriers to music education.

The music education is only part of what makes MYC unique – it’s a warm, social, multicultural community where families connect and in which children and young people thrive and flourish.

One of MYC’s programs is a choir especially for primary-aged children with additional needs.

This group is directed by a music therapist and a speech therapist, encouraging children to explore social and communication goals through music.

Performance opportunities are a valuable opportunity to bring the wider community together, and MYC has fun events throughout the year.

At MYC’s recent Community Big Sing, supported by the City of Casey and St Margarets Berwick Grammar, some people met who had sung together in a choir in India 10 years ago!

The Melbourne Youth Chorale team loves the way music brings people together.

Feel welcome to attend a trial lesson with MYC.
