Friendly, welcoming, diverse, and filled with singers who are passionate about music. The GMC has offered me a way to express my love for singing and gave me a chance to be part of something bigger even if I couldn’t read music.
Our daughter, Charlotte, absolutely loves being part of Voices Rising program. Not only has she made wonderful new friends, but she also looks forward to each practice with enthusiasm and excitement. The choir director, Melody, has created an engaging environment which fosters Charlotte's love for music, and we have noticed remarkable improvement in her vocal abilities. Watching her confidence grow and seeing her joy while performing is so much fun. The Voices Rising choir has been a fantastic experience for our family, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for music programming for their children.
If you love to sing, the Greater Moncton Chorale is the place to be! I love being part of this choir, and I look forward to each rehearsal. We sing, we laugh, we have fun, and we leave happy, light-hearted, and floating. Plus, everyone is so welcoming and friendly, you are guaranteed to make a friend, or two or more! Come sing your heart out!
The Greater Moncton Chorale is an impressive mix of younger and older singers, newcomers to Canada and long-time residents. I have been a member for more than a decade and always look forward to our weekly practices.
I am thrilled to share how being a member of the choir has positively impacted my 8-year-old daughter. Since joining, she has not only developed a beautiful singing voice but also gained an incredible boost in confidence. The choir has provided her with a supportive and encouraging environment where she feels valued and celebrated. It’s truly heartwarming to see her so enthusiastic and proud of her achievements. The choir has been more than just a musical activity; it has become a wonderful community that has fostered her growth, joy, and self-assurance.
I love singing with the GMC! Learning vocal techniques in an accessible and often humorous way is delightfully educational and hearing the voices of 100 other choristers immersing me in four- (or more!) part harmony is pure joy, balm for the soul, real-life magic, and, best of all, exquisite fun!
Choirs and performing have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. To me, there is nothing that compares to being a part of an ensemble that collectively teams together to produce a beautiful sound. The energy is infectious. Toss in some out-of-this-world musicians who accompany us….and we put on quite the show. 10/10 for the GMC!
Our daughter Faith joined Voices Rising this season to sing - and that she did! She also found a great group of new friends. Melody’s leadership and direction was warm and inviting and allowed our daughter to have a safe environment to grow and develop with confidence. Faith looked forward to the practices and was so thrilled to hear the finished product when the voices all came together to produce such beautiful harmonies! Their involvement in community events like the Kid’s Help Phone Walk gave the choir an opportunity to share their singing to make an important impact. Voices Rising- truly a fitting name as the children raise their voices to make our community a better place!
My experiences in the Voices Rising choir have been phenomenal. We learned a variety of songs and had a lot of fun performing them. Singing with the group has been really inspiring and confidence building - a wonderful time that built numerous friendships and memories that I can look back on fondly.
My 6-year-old daughter, Josephine, has absolutely loved being part of the Voices Rising Junior Singers! Under Melody’s wonderful guidance, she has found a passion for singing and music that fills our home with joy. Melody's teaching style is not only effective but also incredibly nurturing, making each practice session something Josephine eagerly looks forward to. The sense of community and the friendships she has built within the choir have been invaluable. We couldn't be happier with the positive impact this choir has had on Josephine's confidence and love for music.
This year’s Voices Rising was fantastic. It was very fun singing with other young people. I learned so much this year from our omnipotent conductor, Melody!
Singing in the Greater Moncton Chorale is a truly remarkable experience. It is a warm, welcoming community for seasoned musicians and novices alike. There is no other choir like it in New Brunswick!
I love to sing because I get to express my feelings and emotions. I love being part of Voices Rising because Melody and all the other kids make me feel welcome, and I feel happy as part of the group and at home when I am singing. It's amazing being in a choir that appreciates everyone! Thank you, Melody and Greater Moncton Chorale!
As a non-music reader, I truly appreciate the work [Choir Director] Melody puts into providing resources and in-practice instruction to help me learn and sing. I leave rehearsal uplifted and refreshed: buoyed by the joy of making music with warm and open-hearted people.
After having spent my life travelling and singing on stages around the globe, I arrived in Moncton and was looking for a way to connect to the music community here. I found GMC and have enjoyed getting to meet so many people who share my passion. I get to learn from truly seasoned and professional musicians, as well as encourage singers who are just beginning - GMC is such a diverse group!
I joined Voices Rising because I wanted to better my vocal technique, singing quality, and have a creative outlet outside of school. Melody and her studio did not disappoint. Combined with private lessons, I have found significant improvement in my voice and in my technique. We are constantly being taught new things in such a kind and nurturing environment. I've met so many new people and made so many new friends at Voices Rising and I'm looking forward to coming back this fall!
My daughter, Carmen, loved being in the Voices Rising choir this past year, singing in a group and making new friends. Being an only child, it has been good for her to be around other children that share her love of music. Melody is great with the kids. Carmen also takes private lessons with her.
Singing in the GMC is a wonderful music making experience. There’s beautiful sound, fellowship, and opportunities to sing alongside incredible musicians thanks to Melody’s passionate direction.
What I love best about the GMC is getting to share the experience with my daughter. She is the musical talent of the family, but she has brought me out of my shell to the point that I tried singing with this tremendous group. I have no formal musical training and the recordings, fun practices, wonderful leadership, and great people made me feel at ease.
