Cadenza Choir! Cadenza choir is specifically designed for your 3-5 year old preschooler. Our choir is a wonderful opportunity for your little one to explore the joy of music and movement. Cadenza Choir has many goals such as: in-tune singing, keeping a steady beat, listening skills, following directions, turn taking and other musical skills. Your child will be given opportunities to build their self-confidence by activities that encourage singing, speaking and movement. We have an action packed, fast paced class that is meant to keep up with your child’s energy and attention span. We sing and play with various things like puppets and scarves and our curriculum includes singing songs about the seasons and special holidays. Your child will also be given opportunities to play various rhythm instruments. The mirrored walls in our bright and open facility are a delight to our students. Cadenza choir will give your child a sound musical foundation that they can build upon for the rest of their lives.

Time and Place

There are currently two 45 minute Cadenza choir sessions held on Friday mornings at 9:30 and 10:30.  

There is a mom/dad-and-me segment the last 10 min. of each class.  Parents and younger siblings are invited and encouraged to attend.

Classes are held in the upstairs dance room of the Bullen Center, 43 South Main, Logan.

Parking is available on Main Street or 100 S. Other parking lots are restricted.

Class Rules

We have a few classroom rules that need to be followed in order for us to teach effectively.

  •  
    • PLEASE! Be on time to class.
    • Parents are required to attend the last 10-15 minutes of class for “Mom and Me” time.
    • Food, drink, gum, candy and toys are not allowed in class.
    • Please dress your child appropriately.  No flip-flops, boots, or hard soled shoes please!
    • Younger siblings need to stay outside the classroom to limit distractions.
    • If the parent chooses to observe class, please no talking. Student behavior is generally better when parent isn’t present.
    • Please practice standard concert etiquette!  When participating in a performance, please make arrangements to stay for the entire performance.
    • Pick up your child on time. CCC is not responsible for your child before or after class time.
    • 80% attendance is required to participate in performances.
