Meet Harmonia’s Conductor
Hi, I’m Amy Voyer
I’m a children’s choir conductor, singer, and elementary music educator.
When I'm not at choir, you might find me watching concerts and theatre, fiercely committing to a theme, or striving to spend more time in water than on land!

Answers To Your Questions About Harmonia

Harmonia singers learn and perform a variety of different kinds of music, like classical, contemporary choral, songs from around the world, musical theatre, pop, and more.

Our weekly Tuesday rehearsals take place at Southminster-Steinhauer United Church (10740 19 Ave NW).

Nope. Harmonia singers are not required to have any previous choral experience.
-
In Harmonia, we require singers to attend all regular Tuesday rehearsals and 4 – 5 performances per year. The choir is a team and while it may seem like missing one voice is no big deal, it has a significant negative impact on the ensemble. We track attendance and rarely have issues because rehearsals are so much fun.
-
EYCC has a long history of dedicated, positive, and spirited volunteering! Because we are a non-profit organization, we rely on parent volunteers to help keep our programs running smoothly.
We collect a $100 volunteer deposit and each choir family is required to volunteer a few times throughout the year to get the deposit back. You can find all the details about our volunteer policy here.

In addition to annual tuition, we collect a $100 fundraising deposit per singer, a $100 music and uniform deposit per singer, and a $100 volunteer deposit per family. These fees are refundable if the required fundraising committment and volunteer hours are completed by the end of the season and if the sheet music and uniform are returned without damage.
Choir tours are optional, but encouraged! Families pay for choir tour fees and the Edmonton Children’s Choir subsidizes travel costs when possible. Fundraising opportunities are provided throughout the year to help individual singers’ pay for their tour fees.
-
For concerts, singers have two options for formal uniforms. Option A is a choir dress, black opaque tights, and black shoes. Option B is dress pants, a white dress shirt, a vest, a bow-tie, and black dress shoes with black socks.
The organization supplies the uniforms and families are required to purchase their own black dress shoes (no boots or runners), and black tights or socks.
