Tacoma Youth Chorus’ Impact…
"My singing fills my heart with joy!"
Chorister, age 7
"I like TYC because I get to sing my heart out!"
Singer, age 10
"Singing was the first thing I remember being good at, but TYC taught me to LOVE my gift and to celebrate it in a way that gave me confidence and helped me come out of my shell. My daughter already has all the confidence in the world, and TYC for her is a way to connect with other kids her age and allows her light to shine bright through performance and the joy of her hard work paying off."

"Choir and community are not limited to what happens when we are all together in the same space -- choir and community can happen at any time in your heart and soul no matter how far apart we are."
Dr. Rollo A. Dilworth
American choral composer, conductor, music educator, and friend of Tacoma Youth Chorus"What a wonderful organization for young people to be involved with! We are deeply grateful for the music educators that have led our student thus far. Tacoma Youth Chorus leads our son towards excellence but also creates a fun environment for him to learn in. We look forward to the years ahead!"

Chorister, age 8
"Just wanted to reach out and thank you and the whole TYC organization for a great year of learning, even in the face of incredible challenges. You have taught our students so much this year, not only related to music but also what it looks like to persevere in adversity and find the joy in sharing music together. I am so grateful."
TYC Parent
"The successes my kids have today, I believe, are a direct result of their TYC experiences... respect, discipline, confidence, professionalism, travel... "
