“I have been a member of this group for two years now and I’ve been taking lessons at Musical Journeys for about 6 years. I joined this choir because I wanted to give back to the community that fostered my love for music.

Through our performances I've found a meaningful way to help aspiring musicians pursue their passions.”

I am thankful that I’m able to help raise money to help those who want to sing and play the piano!”

“Music has always been a beloved hobby of mine, and this group has provided a safe and welcoming space where I can express myself and grow as a singer. Ms. Rebecca’s caring nature immediately made me feel safe and supported, and the environment she created makes us feel valued and encouraged to share our voices. In such a short time, I’ve been able to learn so much. This experience has truly helped me grow in confidence and skills, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to be part of something that brings so much joy to the community.”
