YOUTH CHORUS
The North Kingstown Community Youth Chorus, started in 1991, is directed by Heather Skidds, our choral director and is assisted by Barbara Valois. Children who sing with the Youth Chorus learn proper singing techniques, rhythm training and performance etiquette. Their learning experience is directed by a professionally trained and experienced staff.
The Youth Chorus is open to children from all communities in grades 2-8. We are excited to announce that the youth chorus will return to in-person rehearsals in Fall 2021. Safe singing precautions will be followed. Auditions and North Kingstown residency not required. The Youth Chorus rehearses on Tuesdays at 5:30-6:30pm at Quidnessett Elementary School, 166 Mark Drive, North Kingstown, RI 02852. Our first rehearsal will be Tuesday, September 21 with concerts on December 4 & 5, 2021.

Virtual Youth Chorus Videos
The NK Youth Chorus is proud to present their Holiday virtual chorus recording of "Solfege Santa" by Cristi Cary Miller. The youth chorus features singers in grades 3-8 who have been rehearsing and recording remotely for this virtual chorus production. Listen to these beautiful young voices directed by Heather Skidds as they sing this fun song about Santa's choir at the North Pole.
The North Kingstown Youth Chorus presents its virtual chorus production of Peace Like a River on Facebook and on our YouTube channel. This virtual chorus recording of the traditional folk song, arranged and directed by Heather Skidds, is a beautiful reminder of the peace, love and joy in our hearts and in our world seen through the eyes of children singing in harmony. The youth chorus has singers in grades 3-8 and has been rehearsing and recording remotely. Some members also perform sign language with the song.
