Calgary Girls Choir

I started singing with Ms. Q at age 7 and was with her all the way through school to age 17. I am so thrilled to be able to sing with her again in Espressa as an adult. She is a genius at creating beautiful blend and tone in her choirs and I have missed that in other adult choirs I have been in over the years. She is a magnetic and natural teacher.

Choir and singing has always been my happy place, so even if my day was bad or I just wasn’t feeling good I would always get to choir rehearsal and forget all about it. I would put myself fully into the music. Choir has also taught me a tremendous amount of responsibility, hard work and dedication that I now have for the future. I am very thankful to the Calgary Girls Choir for this.

Choir was such a lovely addition to my schedule this year. Sometimes it was hard to make myself login after a long stressful day at work, but I was always so glad I did. The songs were great - just the right level of difficulty. Challenging enough to be interesting, but not hard enough to be scary. The virtual choir was a cool experience. I was so happy to have been a part of that. So excited to hopefully sing in person next year! Thanks for the experience!

I am so grateful for the many years that I sang in the Calgary Girls Choir. Choir taught me to appreciate music and to sing properly with confidence. I have gained many friends from choir, and really felt a sense of community. When I was going through some rough times, I knew I could always count on choir to be the one stable thing in my life, and it served as a good outlet for some of my emotions. I now use music a lot to help me deal with things, and I owe that to the Calgary Girls Choir. The choir helped me to realize the true power of music, and I can now integrate that into my life to use.

A fantastic group of people, great music, a terrific learning experience, and so much fun. The remote experience has been very well organized and it's keeping everyone engaged and motivated.
