Now in its 5th Season, Spectrum Choral Academy is a 50-voice community choir program for children, teens and college age singers with the purpose of inspiring young people through quality music education and performances.  Weekly rehearsals are held on Saturdays from Sep-June in Gig Harbor, WA.  We also offer summer camps and festivals throughout the year.

Current Schedule    

Spectrum rehearsals include:
  • Singing – from traditional folk tunes to choral classics and Broadway favorites, we work on quality choral repertoire learning how to sing a beautiful unison up to multi-part harmony.
  • Movement – feel the music in your body.  Students who make singing a whole body experience learn faster and retain what they learn.
  • Music theory – learn how to read notes follow a musical score with our unique "hands-on" music theory program. 
  • Instruments – as part of music theory class, students create sounds and play rhythms using simple percussion instruments, drums and piano.  We also regularly perform with a variety of professional instrumentalists. 
  • Rhythm – learn how to keep a steady beat and play different rhythms.
  • Vocal technique – discover how to use your voice in a healthy, enjoyable way.
  • Friends and fun – connect with with other young people who also have a passion for music!  Singers who are involved in our program long-term create friendships that last a lifetime. 

Studies show that young people who sing in choirs...
  • Do better in their school studies, especially math.
  • Develop personal confidence and overcome shyness.
  • Tend to be healthier and are sick less often.
  • Acquire improved abilities to speak and enunciate more clearly.
  • Have better posture and body alignment.
  • Learn to breathe properly.
  • Make lasting and wholesome friendships.
