We seek a vocal arts instructor who exhibits the energy to provide early childhood arts education to children in an underserved area. The program receives students from all across northwest Indiana and the Chicagoland area. Level 1 of the Midwest Youth Choir students learn to sing properly with correct diction and fundamental music theory appropriate for their age. Some are building their vocabularies, which gives them more confidence to sing and present themselves on and off stage. While singing is the primary curriculum, interdisciplinary elements (movement, drawings) are encouraged for this age group.
