She attended Westminster Choir College, Dutchess Community College, and audited rehearsals for the Boys Choir at the Winchester College of England, Winchester Cathedral and The Pilgrim School. The Poughkeepsie Boys Choir is modeled after the world famous Boys Choir of Harlem, Inc., a dedicated group who, significantly, has an excellent reputation for developing artistic abilities as well as promoting academic and youth leadership skills.
The development of self esteem of culturally diverse choir participants, as well as High School graduation and entrance to college for the members of the choir, are all part of CSCC’s commitment. The Poughkeepsie Boys Choir operates as an after school activity, coupled with ongoing support services such as artistic development, mentoring, homework assistance and individual and family counseling. The Boys Choir involves the participation of approximately 25 school age boys.
The group meets after school. During the months of July and August, CSCC offers academic enrichment and Music Camp for those in the Choir as part of the Summer Enrichment Program.
