Children's Choirs
A comprehensive program for students in grades 3 through 8, the Ethos Children's Choirs are committed to excellence in choral music in a positive and affirming setting. While the Ethos Children's Choirs rehearse at Stewarts Creek High School, the ensembles are open to students from any public, private, or home school in Middle Tennessee. After auditions, children are placed in a choir appropriate for their age and musical development. Reach out to Dr. Russell at brussell@ethosmusic.net for more information.

Sign up for an Individual Interview
Saturday, September 13, 2025 • 10am-3pm
All Children's Choir members need to sign up for a Voice Placement Interview. This is simply how we get to know each singer’s voice and make sure they’re in the right spot. But don’t worry! There’s nothing to prepare, and it’s super simple! The interview takes just three minutes and will be only with Dr. Russell (who promises to smile and be kind the whole time!). We’ll do a few fun echo exercises to learn about your voice range and ability to hear tonal patterns. Parents are welcome to join, and most kids leave with a smile!
