Little Singers by the Voices of Singapore Children's Choir (AY2023, Term 3)

Little Singers is a research-based artistic programme that trains and develops cognitive, musical and kinaesthetic ability in young children. It is led by the Head of Early Childhood Department at Voices of Singapore, Tham Pei Wen.

This programme transcends fun in music-making, and delves into developing young singers into thinking individuals that are sensitive to sound, rhythm, and other fundamental musical elements. It also equips them with key foundation skills that will not only aid their singing, but their thought process and creative freedom.

Coupled with the VOS platform that offers an abundance of performance opportunities and exposure, Little Singers is a unique programme that grooms the young performer, builds character, and creates unforgettable memories through song.
