    The Detroit Children’s Choir is made up more than 300 students in grades 3-12, who have a passion and love for singing. Choir members come from a variety of cities in Southeast Michigan, representing a range of diverse cultures and backgrounds. Youth are trained in music literacy, sight reading skills and proper vocal technique. DCC provides our students with truly unique performing opportunities through the state. The music is carefully selected to engage children in singing, including a wide variety of music of American heritage, classic children’s choral works, and texts in foreign languages.
