Cantabile introduces its 2020 Virtual Voices Program – exceptional online vocal education for children, youth, and adults

Cantabile is currently accepting members for the 2020 Virtual Voices Program. Virtual Voices is Cantabile’s hallmark music education program, reimagined to integrate seamlessly into the online learning environment. By moving our programs online, Cantabile works toward creating meaningful musical experiences for our community, using song as a tool to bring people together when so much has been pushing us apart.

How does it work?

This year we’ve redesigned our programs to adapt to the virtual environment and accommodate public health restrictions. All sessions will take place virtually via Zoom video conferencing software. Each session is recorded and archived so that children have access to the material for review, or to catch up if you miss a session.
