Program Spotlight: Youth Choir

About our Youth Choir and Teen Vocal Ensemble

Our youth choirs are high energy activities for singers, and with no homework and no audition, they are great options for busy kids and families. They are led by experienced youth choir director Margaret Murer, who kids enjoy for her ‘serious fun’ approach to ensemble instruction. And as with all CMC activities, the youth choirs offer the PP&R Access Discount, which helps

families on a budget.


Meets: Weekly on Tuesday afternoons; youth age 8 – 13 at 4:30 PM, teens age 14 - 18 at 5:15 PM.



Instructor: Margaret Murer


What Parents Say:

“Margaret has great rapport with the students. She

balances expectations with humor.”

“She is an amazing music teacher…[my child’s] quick

progress and enthusiasm for the class is a direct

reflection of her high expectations and encouragement.

We feel so fortunate to have her as his teacher.”
