Hit the high notes in quick time as registrations set to close for About FACE Kids’ annual choral music camp

Budding singers who want to hit the high notes can register for the About FACE Kids’ choral music camp which takes place in Albany during the July school holidays.

Registrations close on May 20 with auditions taking place on May 24-25, such is the popularity of the four-day experience which attracts children from all over the Great Southern.

Creator and music director Sue Findlay said more than 100 children have auditioned each year since she founded the children’s program in 2023.

There will be 75 places in the camp this year, for children aged between nine and 14 years.

Ms Findlay said the day camp mixes singing with physical activities and competitions.

The aim of the auditions is to assess each child so they can be given a part which best suits their voice.

“Three experienced vocal coaches share techniques and guide the choir through the nuances of ensemble singing,” she said.

“The repertoire will inspire and challenge the choir, and children learn how to follow a musical score as they sing in three-part harmony.”

The camp, which takes place in the auditorium of the Oceans Church, closes with a concert in front of an audience of 500.

“The auditorium, with its great acoustics, is wonderful for singing,” Ms Findlay said.

“Involvement in About FACE Kids extends much further than excellent music education but includes confidence building, resilience, and teamwork.”
