The Cincinnati Children’s Choir is an educationally based choir program. Using the philosophies and techniques of Carl Orff, Zoltan Kodaly, Jacques Dalcroze, and Jerome Brunner, participants learn strong vocal technique, sight-reading, performance excellence, music history, and music theory. The learning environment is creative, explorative, and fun as the children form lasting relationships with children outside of their community and develop a lifelong involvement with music.

Bel Canto Choir, CCC’s most advanced and primary touring choir, is for young singers in grades 5 through 12 with good vocal technique, good reading skills. The choir rehearses twice a week due to their prestigious performance and touring schedule.
