Te Puke Youth Choir first broke into song a year ago. “And what a wonderful year they have had,” says choir leader Carol Power.

The choir has performed at events in Te Puke and Tauranga.

They have entertaine­d the public at the Daily Cafe´’s Free Pizza nights, the opening of the Te Puke Sports Stadium, Te Puke Christmas in the Park, Tauranga Arts, Gardens and Music festival at the Tauranga Racecourse and a Christmas Concert at Litt Park Theatre.

“This choir is no ordinary choir. It has values: Be kind — Have fun — Sing your heart — Move to the beat.”

There are no auditions for the choir which caters for those between 7 and 17.

“Youth love to sing and this is a wonderful way to build confidence, learn vocal skills and build friendship with like minded children,” says Carol.

“You will hear a bit of reggae, country, rock and pop in this choir,” she says.

The choir members bring new songs to the choir and if the are not offensive they be become part of the repertoire.

“We would love more members to join our choir wha¯nau.”

Anyone interested can contact Carol at carolpower­voicestudi­o@gmail. com or find the choir on Facebook.

The choir is available to perform at any public or private events.

Carol has a Master of Arts — Music — Contempora­ry singing and also has a contempora­ry singing vocal studio where people of all ages and vocal ability can improve their vocal quality and develop vocal techniques for their vocal toolbox to express the intent of the lyrics of songs so their performanc­es are engaging and convincing.

The youth choir starts up again on February 10.
