Join the Chorus

You don't need to sightread music fluently or have a lot of prior singing experience to join although both of those attributes are welcome. 


You do need to be able to match pitch, comfortably hold your own part when singing in harmony, and have a can-do attitude when confronted with unfamiliar languages and singing styles.  

Scores will be supplied for some repertoire, as appropriate; but many songs are taught by ear. Everything is taught by example, with emphasis placed on authenticity and on replicating the spirit of each musical genre.

2022-23 In-Person Rehearsal Schedule

Tuition to participate is waived for University of Chicago students. 

For others, tuition is $175 for the coming season, with a self-chosen optional discounted tuition of $125. 

Anyone who needs a lower tuition is free to simply let us know what you'd like to offer to pay; we will accept your offer.


On the flip side, we also offer an optional $250 tuition for those who would like to donate to help subsidize the choir.

  

In addition to our in-person monthly meetings, choir members will be given unlimited access to digital files for the choir posted on Village Harmony's Thinkific learning platform. A full gamut of teaching materials will reinforce the live teaching for much of our repertoire, with individual voice parts recordings, performance samples, pronunciation tracks, word sheets, translations, scores and a generous variety of digital background resources to dive into.

From participants of our pandemic-era online classes:


Thank  you for an absolutely wonderful week last week. Not only was it  immensely musically engaging and rewarding, but you all did such  wonderful work to make us all feel connected to each other and really  encourage collaboration, experimentation, and self-growth. This is no  easy feat to do in online teaching (as I'm finding out myself these past  few months!), and I just wanted to pass along my sincere thanks.


I am still basking in the glow of Village Harmony time  together and I want to thank you for your part in making this the  highlight of my summer. I am sure you all felt some uncertainty facing  this new platform as, indeed, did we, but this was certainly a delicious  lemonade that quenched my thirst!


As complicated as it was with zoom, you managed to create a sacred space available to us.
