Dear fellow Hanoverians:
South Shore Children’s Chorus (SSCC), the region’s training program for
all young singers, announces open registration for its fall programs at its
new location this fall at Laura’s Center for the Arts at the YMCA, 97
Mill Street, Hanover. Five non-auditioned choirs welcome new singers
beginning in September, under the direction of founding Artistic Director
Kirsten Oberoi. Joyful, positive encouragement and an uplifting
environment inspire choristers to learn and embrace confidence through
their own voice.
SSCC’s Training Choir engages students in grades K through 2 by
developing their musicality and voices through song games, movement and
listening. Choristers graduate from the Training Choir loving the use of
their voices, confident in their sound, understanding pitch-matching
skills, basic vocal technique and beginning ear training. The ensemble
performs at annual SSCC performances and occasionally at community events.
Training Choir meets weekly on Tuesdays in Hanover. Singers are required to
attend weekly rehearsals, as well as one or two All-Together rehearsals per
semester on Sunday afternoons, combining all Training Choir campuses in
Hanover, Sharon and Quincy.
SSCC’s Intermediate Choir trains students in grades 3 through 6 to
develop self-confidence through the medium of vocal music, learn
musicianship skills, begin singing in two or three parts and solidify
healthy vocal technique. Choristers graduate from the Intermediate Choir
appreciating the warm and loving community cultivated in choir
participation, as independent singers confident with the sound of their own
voice, and the ability to follow music well. The ensemble performs at
annual SSCC performances and community performances throughout the season.
Intermediate Choir meets weekly on Tuesdays in Hanover. Singers are
required to attend weekly rehearsals, as well as one All-Together rehearsal
per month on Sunday afternoons, combining all Intermediate Choir campuses
in Hanover, Sharon and Quincy.
SSCC’s Advanced Choir allows students in grades 7 through 12 to engage in
an honest and accepting community of passionate singers, develop
sight-singing skills, sing challenging and unique repertoire and study
vocal technique through performance and rehearsal of a variety of musical
genres. Choristers graduate from the Advanced Choir as beautiful and kind
humans and inspired choral leaders. They are ready to participate in
choirs at the professional or college level, and exemplify respectful
behavior in a choral rehearsal, model advanced vocal technique and
management, and demonstrate impressive sight-singing and music theory
skills. As a premiere SSCC ensemble, the Advanced Choir performs at annual
SSCC performances and community performances throughout the season.
South Shore Children’s Chorus’s mission is to provide joyful music
education and vocal training to students in South Shore communities and
beyond. SSCC reveres the development and well-being of its students as a
top priority, aiming to create a safe space and loving community for
choristers to learn, grow and to find their own voice. Its programs serve
dedicated, responsible singers ages 4 to 18 who seek a well-rounded choral
education. SSCC is passionate about access for all chorister students,
regardless of financial circumstance. Need-based tuition assistance is
available by application.
