Our FALL Season starts Thursday, September 10th, 2026
Emerge Choir is a fun activity. And it focuses on good choral technique, learning to read music, singing as part of an ensemble, and growing friendships through a worthwhile shared endeavour.
SingYourJoy’s Emerge Choir is a non-auditioned, affordable community choir for youth. Through weekly rehearsals and several performance opportunities during the year, these young people learn musical and life skills. They learn to cooperate as a group, encouraging and motivating each other to reach their potential. Singers learn vocal technique, music reading skills, and performance and listening skills.
- Ages: 9 to 15 years. (should be turning 10 by December 31st, 2026)
- For Treble Voices: We will be singing in a ‘register’ that might be a challenge for a ‘changed or changing voice’, but we will try to accommodate to the best of our ability.
- Performance is part of the learning process and gives a major boost to the youth’s self-confidence. We will perform as often as we can.
- We will strive for growth from each participant as their ability allows (versus seeking perfection in performance).
- Rehearsal Location: James Bay United Church
- Rehearsal Day & Time: Thursdays from 4:30 pm to 6pm (with a 10 minute break midway)
- Fees: There are no fees associated with this choir. SingYourJoy Family of Choirs programs are funded through grants and donations. SingYourJoy Young Adult Chorus Society is a Registered Charity under CRA legislation.
Rehearsals take place at James Bay United Church, 511 Michigan St. Victoria BC

James Bay United Church, through its expansive approach to Arts Ministry, is proud to host the SingYourJoy Children’s Chorus in the Sanctuary weekly. We see their work with children in alignment with our core values. They offer a welcoming inclusive environment for children to learn new skills and become part of a community that experiences joy through shared song. In and through their work we glimpse the sacred.
