“There’s something so empowering about making music together. You feel connections with other people, you laugh, you pat each other on the back, and you just have a lot of fun. Charlie and Megan are amazing directors, and I feel very fortunate to be part of this.”
– KENDALL HAMID, ACTIVITIES COORDINATOR
The evidence is overwhelming: bringing music into schools creates both better students and a richer, more engaging learning environment. Learning music boosts reading and memorization skills. Practicing instills discipline and teaches the importance of teamwork. Singing builds confidence in a way no other program can, and attendance rates are almost 10% higher for schools with music programs than for those without.*
It’s that important. So we offer a way for you to share song with your students, even if a full-time music program is off the table. New York Choir Project offers school chorus and songwriting programs (or some variation you may have in mind) on a contract basis, bringing a professional teaching artist into the classroom for anything from a 1-day workshop to a 10-week residency.
Drawing on 15 years of school-based experience in both the U.S. and U.K., we have partnered extensively with NYC schools—and have seen the transformative effect it can have on students.
