Project: Sing!

Project: Sing! is our community outreach program serving elementary children in grades 3 through 6 in the Harlandale, San Antonio and Edgewood school districts and area private schools. Participating students who do not have the opportunity or access to CCSA’s core programs join together weekly in their own neighborhood for one or two condensed semesters of singing, learning, and sharing taught by our staff. Project: Sing! is tuition-free and no audition or prior experience is necessary. Participating students receive the same level of curriculum and instruction as our core programs and have the opportunity to shine musically, to broaden their horizons, to make new friends from other schools.SA Arts Beat on Project: Sing!

Each iteration of Project: Sing! is also a collaboration with an educational institution or school district in the neighborhood – a winning combination of skills, talents and resources. CCSA provides the staff and administration of the program and the neighborhood partner provides the facilities and weekly staff/rehearsal support through their administration and music teachers from participating schools. Our current partners include the Harlandale Independent School District and Our Lady of the Lake University.

Reaching New Neighborhoods

Our objective is to increase number of participants in our outreach programs to encompass the complete demographic of San Antonio. We recognize that many families do not have the ability to reach CCSA through our traditional programs and location and in order to be truly representative of San Antonio, our constituents must come from all walks and corners of our metropolitan community. We therefore are bringing our program directly to neighborhoods across the City to ensure that children and youth have the opportunity to participate and experience the success and achievement that comes with participation in music.

A Child’s Potential

CCSA believes that we have an emerging role not only in providing the best in choral music education opportunities to the children and youth of San Antonio through our core curriculum but also ensuring a diverse and accurate representation of the very best of our future citizens encompassing a true tapestry of participants from every thread of our rich culture. By partnering with local districts and universities to provide well-rounded and holistic experiences for elementary-aged children who may not have either opportunity or access to music, we believe the next generations of children in the primary school system will be better adapted for learning, will have a greater appreciation for the arts and for music and -- ultimately – our San Antonio community will be stronger.
