Seattle Girls Choir


The Seattle Girls Choir was established in 1982 by Dr. Jerome L. Wright as a "junior conservatory" where young women from throughout the Puget Sound region could gather after school to develop their music education.
In 2009, Dr. Wright retired as Artistic Director of SGC. He was succeeded by Jacob Winkler.
The Choir School is divided into six levels, from youngest to oldest: Piccolini, Dolcine, Vivissimi, Allegra, Cantamus and Prime Voci. Students range from the Kindergarten through 12th grades.
The curriculum includes vocal technique, music theory, sight singing, solfege, ear training, and general musicianship.
