Melbourne Youth Chorale changes lives
Impacting young people through music and community!

In 2026, MYC consists of 6 main choirs for a diverse range of ages and abilities, providing 140+ choristers with quality music instruction using the Kodály method. We rehearse Wednesday afternoons and evenings during school terms, at Timbarra College in Berwick.

We believe in the transformational power of choral music to develop confident and well-rounded young people—that's why we keep fees affordable, depending on grants and donations—and entry is not auditioned.     How to support MYC

Founded in Berwick in 1986 by Jean Herriot OAM, MYC relocated to Hampton Park in 2022 and then back to Berwick in 2026.     About Melbourne Youth Chorale

Group singing and top quality musical education lifts children and young people through cultural experiences and community connection, regardless of financial position or musical experience.

By having affordable fees and being a tax-deductible charity, we are able to be inclusive and diverse and to welcome all young people. Choristers live in Hampton Park, Berwick, Cardinia, Narre Warren and further afield.

As an ACNC tax-deductible registered charity we rely on your generosity to continue nurturing young musical talent and community.     Give the Gift of Music!
