CYC@YourSchool

CYC@YourSchool is an initiative to provide students across the region with the chance to be part of the Charlotte Youth Choir. Students will grow as singers, music readers, and creative individuals, while joining in the 35-year legacy of CYC. Instruction focuses on celebrating standards-based learning, musician confidence, and diversity.
