Silicon Valley Boychoir, based in Palo Alto, has pivoted from choir rehearsals to small group voice classes and private lessons. Each boy, ages 7-17, is assigned a voice class appropriate to his level and will work on vocal technique, sight-reading, and music theory. In addition, boys will receive private lessons to focus on solo singing. The goal is for each boy to stay connected to the choir and, at the same time, improve individually. The choir just celebrated their tenth anniversary season. New boys may join the beginner classes by contacting: info@ svboychoir.org

If your child loves to sing, a professionally-run choir is a great place to be. My son has been a member of Silicon Valley Boychoir for 4 years, since he was in second grade. He loves to sing, but boys his age don't feel comfortable singing in school. Silicon Valley Boychoir offers a safe and enjoyable environment where boys who like singing can sing together. Now that classes are online, he enjoys that too. It's a change but it's a good change. Somehow they figured out how to make it work with the internet latency. Overall we think the benefit and joy our son gets out of it is a great value for the tuition. If your boy likes singing, check out http://svboychoir.org
