- To train children and youth in master-level choral technique by teaching the necessary vocal, choral music theory, and performance skills, through preparation of choral repertoire covering a broad spectrum of musical genres and styles.
- To inspire young musicians by instilling principles of self-discipline, self-confidence, teamwork, leadership and mentorship skills, and a heart for service to the community and to others in general.
- To create a safe, positive, and stimulating environment that encourages diversity and welcomes singers and families from all cultural, racial, and socioeconomic backgrounds.
Our Vision
- The community will be served through the uplifting music provided by the Texas Children's Choir; that military, civic, charitable, and other community organizations will be encouraged and supported by the choir's quality vocal performances; and that community members will be increasingly moved to provide service in their communities and to invest in the development of its children and youth.
- These children will mature emotionally and spiritually , and will become comfortable and develop a lifestyle of service to their own families, to peers and other individuals around them, and to the community in general
- These children will become competent singers, musicians, performers, and professional colleagues and team members.
