Choirs

A choir is a group of singers who perform together. Each singer has a part to sing, and the parts fit together like puzzle pieces. Choirs can be found in schools, churches, and concert halls. Singing in a choir is a fun way to make music with friends.

Voice Parts

Choirs are split into different voice groups. The highest voices are called soprano, and below them are alto voices. Men often sing tenor or bass parts. When all the parts sing together, they create beautiful harmony. A leader called a conductor helps keep everyone in time.

Kinds of Choirs

There are many types of choirs around the world. School choirs let kids learn to sing together. Church choirs sing during religious services. Some choirs only have children, while others only have adults. Famous choirs travel and perform in big concert halls.
