ABOUT THE CAPITAL CHILDREN’S CHOIR The FSU Capital Children’s Choir is a community outreach program for children in Kindergarten through eighth grade. The FSU College of Music sponsors CCC; the program was first started in 1957 under the name Tallahassee Junior Chorus and was directed by Lois Laverne Schnoor (later Ballard). After several years of non-existence, the choir was reinstated as a children’s opera chorus by then teaching assistant Michael Braz (under the guidance of Dr. Clifford Madsen) in the summer of 1981 and later became the children’s choir proper. After another lag, faculty took the helm of the program. Many thanks to Dr. Judy Bowers and Dr. Kim VanWeelden for upholding CCC for a decade each! In time, the program evolved into be the ensemble standing before you today, which includes internship, field experience, and volunteer opportunities for college students. The aims of the program are to teach appropriate singing techniques and music to children in an enjoyable, safe, and noncompetitive atmosphere; we focus on process over product.

Thank you to the Florida State University College of Music students who donate their time to work with the children and to the parents/grandparents/guardians who bring them to us every week! FSU CCC recognizes peer role models who agree to help whoever is in need. Gratitude is extended to the Dean of the College of Music, Dr. Todd Queen, and to all our community supporters.

The FSU Capital Children’s Choir will resume on Monday, January 23, 2023. NEW MEMBERS WILL BE ACCEPTED STARTING IMMEDIATELY! Visit “FSU CAPITAL CHILDREN’S CHOIR” on Facebook for details. Have a safe and happy winter break!
