A joyful holiday season of singing

Small groups, real vocal skills, and a performance to remember.

Holiday Group Lessons from On Key with Courtney are a weekly series of Sunday-morning singing classes for kids in El Cerrito, Richmond, and the surrounding East Bay. Over the session, singers learn healthy vocal technique, sing together in harmony, build confidence, and make new friends, all while preparing for a real performance.

The session wraps up with a group winter performance on December 6 at the El Cerrito Winter Faire at City Hall, where every child gets to shine for family and friends. (Performance time to be announced.)
