Does your child love to sing? Are you looking for weekend activities for your active kids? Variety Queensland in Milton has recently expanded its choir program to include 7 to 17-year-old children of all abilities.
Talented singer/songwriter Luke Scott directs the children of Variety Kids Choir, where he also incorporates other communication tools like as Auslan and Key Word Signing to make the sessions more inclusive. They meet fortnightly Saturdays to practice songs, as well as develop the children’s confidence and social skills.
The program is open to disadvantaged children or kids living with a disability. They will be trained to perform a wide-ranging repertoire, including pop songs and children’s songs, at various functions that will be organised by Variety Queensland for the remainder of the year.
“We’re thrilled more kids will now be able to join our inclusive, all-abilities Variety Kids Choir,” said Variety Queensland CEO Steve Wakerley. “Singing has so many great benefits and allows kids to feel included, grow their social skills by making new friends, improve their self-confidence and have fun through creative expression.”
This is a free program that holds fortnightly Saturday rehearsals from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at PCYC Lang Park (Level 4, Karate Room), 40 Castlemaine St, Milton.
