Melbourne Youth Chorale is a group of choirs, a not-for-profit incorporated association that teaches choral singing and musicianship to children and young people aged 3 to 20

Melbourne Youth Chorale is  a vibrant social community providing quality music education to children and young people of all backgrounds and abilities.
We believe that every child deserves the gift of music, and our programs are tailored accordingly. No previous music experience is necessary and there are no auditions.

We take children and young people as they are, and encourage their growth into competent choristers and musicians. As well as a strong focus on music education we value a chorister's personal development, encouraging self-confidence, leadership and facilitating the building of friendships.

Collaboration: We recognise that by working together as a community of choristers, volunteers and staff, we are able to achieve outcomes we cannot reach alone.
