For Parents

Welcome to American Young Voices

The benefits of a child’s involvement in music are well-documented: but the benefits of being in the biggest school concert is quite simply life-changing.

Having the opportunity to perform in some of the country’s most renowned arenas has a massive impact on the children involved. From the day the AYV music is introduced to the many months of rehearsals to the day of the performance, American Young Voices culminates when thousands of children from hundreds of schools come together for a once-in-a-lifetime event. Instantaneously, there is an enormous sense of individual and collective achievement gained from this memorable and special experience. One of the highlights of the whole process is to see the pride that the children have in their own performance, which is further amplified when their parents and families are able to share the experience as part of the audience.

“Every school needs to participate in this program. We had so much fun and so many tears of joy that our daughter got the opportunity to participate in such an outstanding program. We tell everybody about this program and we hope to come back and watch again next year.” – Mary (Parent)

Furthermore, with the guidance of their teachers and the support of their classmates, students develop self-confidence and the ability to communicate as part of a team. Add to this the numerous health benefits of consistent singing in rehearsals, from breathing regulation to relieving stress, and it’s no wonder that this program has been selling out around the world year after year.

“The hope and unity of humanity embodied in that song among thousands of children was very touching.” – Taeriah (Parent)
