PREPARATORY CHOIR
Grades K-2
The AACC Preparatory Choir is a non-auditioned choral experience for kindergarten through second-grade students where children are introduced to choral music in the rehearsal setting and participate in a choir where singing, learning, and fun take place. It is a wonderful way to explore their interest in music and singing and the potential for other opportunities in the AACC.
