EVC VoiceAbility is designed for special learners ages 8-12 who thrive in a supportive learning environment with a high adult-student ratio. Classes will be structured to allow for children to explore their voices in a setting sensitive to their individual needs and social, emotional, physical and/or intellectual challenges. Members of VoiceAbility will also have the opportunity to work with peer mentors from the EVC youth choirs.
Saturdays from 10:10 — 11:00am

EVC VoiceAbility will resume in Fall 2021.
​Rehearsals take place at Columbia University Teachers College (525 W 120th St.)
