New Voices
A subset of Treble Chorus, New Voices is our introductory choral ensemble, designed to spark a lifelong love of music through joyful, engaging, and developmentally appropriate instruction. This beginning choir introduces young singers to the fundamentals of healthy vocal technique, unison and simple two-part singing, steady beat, and basic music reading. Through a curriculum rich in movement, games, and songs from around the world, singers develop musical skills in a playful, nurturing environment that supports individual growth and ensemble awareness. New Voices performs approximately four times yearly, giving children their first exciting taste of sharing music with an audience and being part of a larger artistic community.

Low Key Collective
Low Key Collective is a new Georgia Children’s Chorus initiative that offers high-quality choral training and performance opportunities for middle and high school singers with low voices (tenor, baritone, and bass). Addressing a critical gap in Northeast Georgia’s youth choral landscape, this ensemble provides a space where singers can strengthen their musical skills, explore repertoire written for their vocal range, and grow in confidence and leadership. As both a training chorus and performance ensemble, Low Key Collective supports vocal development, music literacy, and peer mentorship, ensuring continuity for singers as their voices change. Rehearsing weekly at the Hugh Hodgson School of Music and performing in major GCC concerts and community events, Low Key Collective celebrates the unique contribution of low voices.
Low Key Collective rehearses on Tuesdays, 6:00 -7:30 pm.
