Reduced Tuition

Reduced Tuition of $60 off the semester tuition price is offered to any families with a household income of less than $60,000 or anyone who may need the financial assistance. (This lowers the monthly payments to $65 per month for the A, B, & B+ Choirs.)

Dates and Rehearsal Times

The Roanoke Valley Children’s Choir is a full-year 8 month choral program for youth ages 6-18. We have two annual concerts in December and April with different music learned over two semesters. However, the skills taught throughout the year are built upon each other and it is recommended to commit to the entire year of singing in the RVCC to receive the most benefits from the full program.

Semesters are September 9th - December 21st, 2024 & January 13th - April 26th, 2025.

Rehearsals are once a week on Mondays at Bethel Baptist Church in Salem, VA.
