"The chorus has helped me become a more confident singer and person in general. This organization has helped me hone my craft and take pride in things that I am good at. I know I am a competent and confident individual capable of great things - this lesson extends to the rest of my life as well."

To be a member of the San Diego Chorus means becoming part of an amazing singing organization teaming with incredibly smart, focused, dedicated, and passionate women who love singing four-part a cappella harmony.  My music skills have grown exponentially and that growth has changed my life!

Since joining the San Diego Chorus, I am so much more aware of my personal instrument (voice) than I've been in the past. I have tools like videos and apps and access to experts to answer questions as they arise. All of these things contribute to a culture of growth and improvement.

Music is, quite literally, my life! I have spent the last 45 years of my life as a singing member or as a musical director of the San Diego Chorus. It’s my musical family and I cannot imagine not having it with me for my remaining years.

I noticed something special on my first rehearsal - the commitment to excellence was evident. Something told me it was "for me," and the warm welcome I received once on the risers confirmed that. In the past year, I've learned answers to questions I never even knew to ask about voice quality, breathing, blending and such. It's been quite a musical education and I'm looking forward to competition.
