What previous choir students have said:

“This was like no other class I’ve taken at Swallow Hill. I loved the camaraderie, the song selection, and being in a large group that made beautiful music together.”

“This was a positive and uplifing experience! I enjoyed and appreciated how each of the four directors brings a unique style and perspective – it’s really benefited my development as a singer.”

“The directors were encouraging, enlivening, knowledgeable, and well-paced. They brought such joy to singing and helped the whole group connect to the feel of the music.”

“I was drawn in more than in past choirs and inspired to explore singing further. They’re not just directors, they’re teachers who expanded my idea of what’s possible.”

“The music was beautiful and relatively easy to learn. The group really bonded, and the directors supported each other and us every week.”
