Magnolia Youth Choir
About Magnolia Youth Choir
Join our warm, welcoming community of young singers!
Magnolia Youth Choir (MYC) is a fun, welcoming community where young singers learn to use their voices with confidence and joy. Through playful warm-ups, rounds, and modern songs kids actually love (think Taylor Swift, The Beatles, Rihanna, and Big Thief), we build musical skills naturally — by ear, through movement, and in community. No prior experience or sheet music reading required.
Rehearsals focus on:
Healthy vocal foundations + harmony-building
Listening, blending, and expressive performance
Movement + rhythm games
Optional solos and small ensemble moments
Our teen assistants help model joy, confidence, and connection in every class.
Spring semester runs mid-January through late April, with a community concert on Saturday, April 25 (afternoon).

Tuition, Discounts & Refunds
Magnolia is committed to access. Our sliding-scale tuition is made possible by generous full-tuition families and donors. A limited number of sliding-scale spots are available each session for families who would not otherwise be able to participate.
If full tuition would prevent your child from joining, please email us privately at kat@magnoliamusicschool.com to inquire about sliding-scale availability.
Sibling Discount: $40 off each additional sibling.
If your child attends the first one or two rehearsals and decides choir isn’t the right fit, let us know by the end of week two for a full refund.
