Kids Choir

Building Musical Foundations Out of Fun!
Members of Canta Mara KIDS will have their first choral experience in a play-based environment. Lots of movement and games will help them discover what it’s like to sing together as a group in an interactive way. This choir is a fun, low-stress introduction to choral music, where kids will discover their healthy singing voice, develop listening skills, and build strong musical foundations to give them the best start on their musical journey!
For Singers Who:
  • Love to sing!
  • Love to have fun and make new friends
  • Want to explore their voice
Canta Mara Kids is conducted by Alana MacPhee,  accompanied by Cian McCarron with additional support and mentorship provided by our intermediate and senior choir apprentices.
Rehearsals
  • Thursday at St James Anglican Church Hall, 18 Prospect Ave. Kentville
  • Session 1: 4:00pm - 5:15pm
  • Session 2: 5:45pm - 7:00pm

The fee for Kids Choir is $475.00 for the year.

As a registered non-profit charitable organization, it is important to us that our program is accessible to as many children and youth as possible. We keep our fees as low as we can, and everything the choristers need for their learning and success is wrapped up into one fee.

We have flexible payment plan options, as well as opportunities all year long to fundraise to offset any choir-related costs. This amount can be used at any time or accumulated over your years with the choir.  We also offer a Bursary Program for our families. 

Fees include everything the choristers need for the whole year! This includes:

  • Tuition for full rehearsals and small group music literacy instruction
  • All music, music folder and Canta Mara choir bag
  • Literacy Program materials and supplies
  • T-Shirt and full Formal Attire for performances.
  • Specialized Professional Workshops and Guest Clinicians
  • Fun performances, community events, social gatherings and end of term banquet

Music education, singing and all the benefits that come with being part of a choir should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial situation. Our bursary program for families helps to cover registration costs each season. Applications for financial support are completed as part of the registration process.

We are grateful to all our generous donors who make our bursary program possible, particularly Mud Creek Rotary who has supported this program for many years. If you wish to donate to the bursary program, to help ensure that finances are not a barrier for any chorister, please visit our Support Us page.

The Canta Mara Chorister Apprenticeship Program provides mentored leadership and collaborative experience to selected members of our junior, intermediate and senior choirs.  They are an integral part of the artistic and caregiving team and serve as positive role models for the choristers of Canta Mara.
