Valley Youth Sing High and Low!

As Dr. Seuss himself said: “Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the thinks you can think up if only you try!”

We can’t be sure, but it’s possible that he was thinking about children and the joy of singing when he spoke about thinking low and high. The Valley Youth Singers like to think of fun, teamwork, and music education all rolled into wonderful experiences for kids! Valley Youth Singers, a choir for Perth and area children, was launched in September of 2024. Conducted by Alana Cliffen and accompanied by Val Leavitt, the choir is now preparing for the next term starting in February.

Valley Youth Singers operates from two locations, so families may choose to register their children for Perth or Lanark. It’s made up of three choirs: “Da Capo” choir for children aged 6–8, “Allegro” choir for ages 9–13, and “Animato” choir for ages 7–13 in Lanark. The choirs will come together for a dress rehearsal and concert in May at St. James Anglican Church in Perth.

The cost to join Valley Youth Singers is $125 per term, and bursaries are available to families who would benefit from financial assistance. For more information, or to enquire about registration, please email the choir at valleyyouthsingers@gmail.com.
