Holiday Show Choir
Directed by Rebecca Paulding
Owner of Sparrow and Song Studio
Six weeks of singing, musicianship, and holiday magic!
Does your child love to sing? Are they always humming, making up songs, or dreaming of performing?
This holiday season, Sparrow & Song Studio is opening two small show choir ensembles for young singers in the Burnaby/Coquitlam area!
Designed for children ages 6–12 in two age groupings (6-8 and 9-12), these joyful six-week programs combine the magic of holiday music with meaningful musical learning, confidence-building, and the fun of performing together. With maximum 12 singers per ensemble, it's a great way for your child to get personalized instruction while being part of something bigger.
Every Singer Receives a Holiday Music Kit!
Each participant will receive their own Sparrow & Song Studio Music Kit, including vocal and music materials, practice cards, vocal warm-up tracks, song practice tracks, and other musical tools to support learning and practising at home.
