Experience the joys of music-making in a county-wide choral program.  The chorus strives to enhance and expand upon the musical opportunities that children receive in their school and church choirs by providing additional training and experiences.  Rehearsals emphasize the development of musicianship and vocal technique.  Through the study of the highest quality music literature, the singers develop musical artistry, poise, confidence, discipline and an understanding and love of the art of music.

Macomb Children’s Chorus has three choirs (Junior, Senior, Troubadours) for students in grades
2 – 9.  Singers are selected and placed on the basis of their musical potential and their motivation to learn and work at singing.
