• Program Mission

  • In McKinley Choirs, we seek to:

    Nurture and inspire the personal growth of students by developing excellent musicianship, creating meaningful musical experiences, building relationships, and empowering students to become lifelong musicians.

  • Program Vision

  • To grow towards our vision, we will:

    • Build community and a safe space for all members of an ensemble to grow and explore their voices.
    • Nurture and inspire all children by fostering their personal growth through music, regardless of race, color, religion, gender expression, national origin, disability, or sexual orientation.
    • Establish a lifelong relationship with music of various genres, cultural origins, and world languages.
    • Not only acquire and improve skills in music education and vocal performance, but also build self-confidence, empathy, determination, teamwork, and persistence.
    • Develop students' lifelong passion for and understanding of music through music literacy, solo and small ensemble opportunities, large ensemble performances, and high artistic standards.
