Building community one song at a time.
The Chorus
Oklahoma Youth Sing! is a non-profit coed choral program for youth, grades 3rd through high school. Our repertoire includes songs in different languages and genres from classical, multicultural, and folk to contemporary.
Our mission
Offer youth the opportunity to sing quality choral music in a community setting.
Further our singers’ vocal development and musicianship skills.
Provide the community with arts events featuring traditional and contemporary choral music sung by youth.
As members of OYSing!, young people experience the joy of singing in a choir while learning to read music and other elements of music theory. OYSing! is a program of the Children’s Arts Network and is funded in part by the Norman Arts Council and the Oklahoma Arts Council.
Our ensembles
There are three ensembles in the program. Da Capo (from the beginning) is a training choir for children in grades three through six with unchanged voice. Singers focus on developing a beautiful unison sound and beginning part singing skills. Con Brio (with spirit) is open by placement hearing for youth in grades 5-8 with unchanged voices. Singers focus on advanced part singing skills and development of vocal techniques. Cantare (to sing) is open by placement hearing for youth in grades 7-10 for young men with changed voices and young ladies in grades 9-10. Singers are trained in musicianship and vocal technique, singing advanced repertoire.
