When Jim’s daughter Sophie first joined the Choir School of Hartford, she was quiet, too shy to even sing during rehearsals. But through time, encouragement, and mentorship, she transformed into a confident soloist and pianist.
“She basically went to some rehearsals and didn’t even sing at all… now she does solos.”
Jim, Parent of Chorister
Jim, who later joined the choir himself to sing alongside his daughter, reflects on how music has been a multi-generational thread in his family, his mother was a church organist, and now Sophie continues that legacy.
“She’s learned how to sing, how to play the piano… and she got lessons, wasn’t charged anything for it.”
It’s not just about music, it’s about confidence, connection, and family. At the Choir School of Hartford, Jim saw the same kind of collaboration you find in team sports, but with a more personal touch. “Everyone works together to get the best out of the individual.”
The Choir School is not just a program, it’s a village where children learn to lead, grow, and shine.
