Changing the lives of young people through music for more than 35 years
Daniel is a 16 year old who struggles with social anxiety and, although musical, could not sing in tune. He was drawn into MYC by his peers who have helped him develop social confidence in a safe environment.
MYC's teachers identified an unusual condition — Daniel hears two pitches at once. With patient nurture the teachers have helped Daniel train his ear to pick out the correct sound and sing it accurately. In twelve months he has grown from a young man afraid to sing a note to begging for private singing lessons. This aural training has also made everyday communication much easier.
Claire, who joined MYC at the age of five, has now come full circle as a Junior Conductor. Her years of being nurtured by MYC helped her develop both her passion for music and her leadership skills. Today, she uses that experience to guide and inspire younger singers, fostering the same love for music that has shaped her since childhood. The choir that helped form her musical abilities is now where she can give back, giving the gift of music to others herself.
Simon, MYC Accompanist and Teacher, says “I really owe just about everything to Berwick Children’s Choir, or Melbourne Youth Chorale as we know it now. That’s where I learnt everything about how to be a musician…”
