The PS 3 Chorus returns this year on Monday, September 11, 2023 with Greenwich House Music School faculty and teaching artists Leslie Frost and Reese Overstreet! Class will consist of one hour of chorus instruction, which will help students build a foundation of singing and listening skills with the goal of making music together. Chorus will be followed by an hour of creative activities including theater games, improvisation, and movement with a focus on community building and fun! Homework help and guided studying will conclude each afternoon. Parents can pick up their children at 5 pm from the school’s Hudson St entrance.
