The Choirs of SCC
The Scottsdale Children's Choirs are made up of singers entering grade 1 through grade 12. The singers in the Scottsdale Children's Choirs receive a comprehensive music education with emphasis on performance and singing technique with music theory, ear training, and notation lessons included within our rehearsals. The Scottsdale Children's Choirs sing a variety of literature from different historical and stylistic periods.
The choirs of the Scottsdale Children's Choirs program are ambassadors for the city of Scottsdale and the state of Arizona. The SCC curriculum includes learning in an environment focused on helping create positive role models in our community and good citizens. The SCC program is designed to partner with the choral music program in the student's school. At SCC we seek to further develop the musician who brings his/her musical experiences back to the school classroom to help enhance the choral experience for his/her school and community.

To audition for Cantabile (grades 8-12)
Cantabile is the newest edition to the Scottsdale Children's Choir family. Singers in Cantabile are selected by audition and are primarily in grades 8-12. In addition to participating in two major concerts per year, singers in Cantabile will represent the choirs by singing "run-out" concerts in the Phoenix area as well as participating in children's choir festivals. Singers in Cantabile participate in the annual spring tour. As all SCC choirs, Cantabile singers continue their studies in music theory and ear training. Singers experience a wide variety of standard choral repertoire and music from popular culture, world music, and choral music with choreography. Cantabile singers rehearse on Monday evenings from 6:30-8:00pm.
