Review for Pro Musica Youth Chorus, Oak Park, IL, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

As a chorister parent, Board Member and current President of the OPRFCC, I cannot support this organization more strongly. The chorus provides an excellent opportunity for children to experience the joy of music by learning how to read music and perform. The chorus members gain wonderful self-esteem, the ability to be part of a team and gain the ability and professionalism to perform in all venues. The trips abroad provide enriching experiences and our group has always been received with the utmost appreciation. Our upcomimg performance as the featured chorus at Carnegie Hall is just another example of the opportunities and professionalism of the chorus. Our 20th anniversary to be celebrated in June reinforces the experiences, the dedicaiton and committment of our children, and our staff.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

having a child in the chorus for 8 years and being involved with the Board.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Be able to attract more singers from the area.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

Interacting with a dedicated and wonderful staff, fellow Board members along with the singers and parents of our singers.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

Of the highest quality and professionalism

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

Provide scholarships to many children who could benefit from the joy of singing.

Ways to make it better...

We have certainly faced our challenges over the years so outside funding would have given us more freedom in providing scholarships and outreach

In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...

The ability to recruit singers and compete with other outside activities.

One thing I'd also say is that...

I have been very proud to be associated with this highly professional organization.
