this is the poorest run educational musical experience in town! i will never let my family or their children be subjected to such an unprepared experience again. your lack of planning does not give you the right to speak to very young children in such an abusive manor. I am beyond fuming that my family paid in total $180.00 for my nephew to be mistreated and his self confidence eroded! DO YOU HAVE A REFUND POLICY, CUZ IM SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING SMALL CLAIMS COURT!
There are many aspects that are appealing about the chorus. It was a breath of fresh air to see such highly talented children come together in harmony. A few months into the chorus, a few things were blatantly obvious. It is a major fundraising feature of the church. Aside from the steep tuition, finding a sponsor is the responsibility of each family. If a sponsor is not found, you have to pay and consider it as a donation. The volunteers and staff do not pay close attention to the children especially during Super Saturdays and concert days. My child had gone through a highly traumatizing experience during one of their concerts with no adult noticing a thing. For an organization to be around for as long as this has, I was hoping for more accountability and deep care and concern for their major fundraisers, the children. Unfortunately, this was not apparent as the weeks went by. I do hope they make a change that will create a safer haven for children who come for the simple love of music.
Wow! What an amazing experience I had at the Jacksonville Children's Chorus this past year; it is truly a first class choral organization. I worked in the program office, accompanied rehearsals, and taught music classes. The work environment is fast-paced and exciting as we plan and execute performances and events, run rehearsals, and work with parents, students, and volunteers. My favorite thing about JCC are the smiles. Whether you have a preschooler in the First Steps of Music, or a high schooler in the Touring Choir, the administrative and artistic staff radiate joy, enthusiasm, and love as they guide each student in their musical journey. This same passion is also seen in the singers as they spread the joy of music to communities local, nationally, and internationally.
The Jacksonville Childrens chorus is an outstanding organization. There is no mistaking how dedicated their staff and singers are to outputting quality. The skills the children are learning are so vital and there are very few organizations that provide the kind of learning that the JCC provides. If you are the parent of a child who loves to sing, there is no better option out there for your child than the JCC.
What a gem of Jacksonville! Kindness and professionalism abound in this child-focused arts opportunity for Jax youth. Kindergarten and First don't have to audition. Second and above are requested to complete a joyful 10 minute audition process that gently listens for ear-training, pitch and sight reading. Susanne Dailey was nurturing and positive throughout the entire process and my child left feeling uplifted. The diverse staff hail from across the globe, providing an enriching musical education. Updated: After actually being a part of the JCC, my child felt shamed and I felt sad. Many wonderful folks still a part of this chorus, but we will return when the policies, those making them, and especially those enforcing them choose to come from a place of love, encouragement, and respect for kids and their parents.
