WHY?
The boy's voice change is unique. Voice change can occur any time between the ages of 9 and 15 and can last days or months. Voice change is normal. Frustration is common during the voice change.  In a "guy-only" group, boys can “be themselves” and sing in a safe, comfortable environment. In an all-male setting, boys are less self-conscious and singing through the voice change is easier. Research shows that encouraging boys to sing gives them greater confidence in themselves, a sense of accomplishment and pride.  Singing, combined with sports and cultural activities, helps boys become disciplined and well-rounded young men.
 
WHO?
The boy choir is for all boys, boys with treble (not changed), emerging, changing, and changed voices in grades 6 - 10. 
Boys should meet with the director before the first rehearsal to assess the vocal range.
We are offer a program for boys in grades 3 - 5 through the Plainfield Park District, Thursdays, 5:45 - 6:45.   - Plainfield Park District (plfdparks.org). 
 
WHEN?
We have boys in grades 8 - 10 that are experienced musicians and read notes very well. If you have sung in a choir for a few years or play a musical instrument, join the boys choir! We will be forming a new group for boys in grades 5 - 8 that have started singing and reading music.  We have 2 times available: Wednesdays,  7:00 - 8:00 pm or Tuesdays, 5:45 - 6:45.  If you are interested in such a group, please contact spectrumsing1@gmail.com.
​
WHAT?
Boys will be taught to understand their changing voice through the production of healthy singing.  Boys will have fun working together while learning proper vocal technique, posture, breathing, tone production. Each boy will receive individual attention to develop his changing voice.  
 
COST?
TBA.  Please write a check payable to PACC (Plainfield Area Community Chorus) or pay by paypal (adding service charge).
