"A big thank you to you and your team who make the Kids Choir happen. As longtime residents of Tiffin I feel it is programs like yours that TU supports that make Tiffin a better place to live and raise children. Our daughter has participated for a couple years now and I see the joy it brings her and the immeasurable value it has on her character development." -- a TU Kids Choir Parent
TU Kids Choir
Tiffin University’s Kids Choir gives students the opportunity to get experience working in popular music styles and to sing outside of school. It is also a chance for kids to explore a variety of musical styles that encourage a positive self-image, a strong work ethic, and an appreciation of diversity. The Kids Choir is open to all second through eighth graders.
The Kids Choir began as an extracurricular afterschool program sponsored by the Krout Elementary School PTO. After two years of growth, founder Ali Rees solicited Tiffin University’s support to allow the choir to serve kids from all area elementary and middle schools. 2019-20 marks the ninth season under TU sponsorship.
This year weekly afterschool rehearsals begin on Friday, September 6, 2019, and will run until the end of the school year. Rehearsals will be held in the Tiffin University Performing Arts Laboratory, on Fridays from 4-5pm.
Parents are responsible for arranging all student transportation to and from rehearsals.

"Before coming to Kids Choir, I was an average fourth grader who didn't know anything about music and didn't have an interest learning about it. Now I know how to play more than six instruments, am in several choral groups, and volunteer at two colleges helping children learn music. Kids Choir opens you up to new kinds of music, gives you confidence and a sense of accomplishment after putting in hours of hard work. I am blessed to have been a part of this amazing group." -- Coral Snell, five-year Kids Choir alum
