Mission Statement
The Silicon Valley Boychoir is an educational performing arts organization for boys (ages 7 and up). Auditioned singers are placed in one of four levels of choir. Mission statement: To train boys in the choral art with an emphasis on music literacy and the highest artistic standards. Boys will learn life-long skills and go forth into the world as skilled tenors and basses and leaders in their future choirs. The Silicon Valley Boychoir offers boys an opportunity for excellent vocal training, music literacy, and artistic achievement.
About This Cause
The Silicon Valley Boychoir offers boys an opportunity for excellent vocal training, music literacy, and artistic achievement. Vocal training: boys will learn proper breathing and singing techniques, development of a healthy pure tone and pure vowels. Boys will increase their singing range and gain confidence by performing a variety of styles (classical, contemporary, folk songs, sacred and secular choral standards). Music literacy: Boys will learn how to read music using a specific step-by-step approach incorporating music theory and a modified Kodaly method. Artistic Achievement: With solid vocal training and strong skills as musicians, boys will gain confidence in their artistic achievement, experience the joy of choral singing, and share performances with the community. A personalized approach to singing and skill building. Small musicianship classes allow for vocal coaching and individualized instruction in learning to read music and understand music theory. These musical skills apply and translate to other musical contexts and interests (such as musical instruments). The small classes ensure individual attention, and boys do not get lost in a crowded setting. Each boy is taught sight-reading and given skills to create a strong, independent, and confident singer. Family and community-centered. Community building is an important feature of SVB. Boys of all levels join together for special rehearsals combined with family potlucks and recreation time. Boys perform in concert with their choir level and join together all voices in pieces at each concert. Life-time friendships are formed among boys who love to sing. Skilled teachers. Our dedicated and talented directors have decades of experience working as voice teachers, vocal coaches, and conductors. They have trained singers for local performances and national competitions as well as coached singers to perform with the Bay Area’s leading music organizations including: San Francisco Opera, San Francisco Symphony, Opera San Jose, West Bay Opera, and Peninsula Symphony. A growing organization in a central location. SVB is the fastest growing boychoir in the area and is located near downtown Palo Alto, convenient to the University Avenue exit off of 101. SVB concerts are held in Palo Alto. SVB also sings as invited guest artists for local events
