One of the largest singing schools in Europe , the choir academy at the Dortmund Concert Hall with over 30 different choir ensembles, states that the goal of their activity is: "The young people should be able to experience choral singing as an intense hobby, which - supported by a professional environment - has many personality-building and educationally valuable Experience conveyed. Not only getting to know singing in "ad hoc situations", but also deepening singing in regular rehearsals is the aim. "
Musically
The training of the individual voices is an important part of youth choir work. Youth choirs form a basis for talented singers who, through early support, develop their interest in choral music and music in general and advance the work of adult choirs (work for young people). The voices can develop through continuous choir work.
Educational
