iSing Silicon Valley presents:
an Elementary Choir Workshop
June 25-27, 2026
Learn from one of America's top youth choir programs
Join us in beautiful Palo Alto, California for an intensive 3-day immersion into the proven methods behind iSing Silicon Valley's international award-winning choir program. For the first time ever, we're opening our doors and sharing our secrets to conductors with a course specifically designed for 1st–6th grade choir directors.
What Makes This Workshop Different?
You'll be a student, rather than an observer. Experience our curriculum the same way iSing singers do. Feel how each new element builds on the last to create a final product that is both musically satisfying and high quality. Understand why our singers love choir and develop exceptional musicianship. Be inspired as a conductor to think differently about how elementary choir classes can work and what your program can achieve.

Create dynamic and engaging curriculum for young singers
Implement sight-singing techniques starting from 1st grade to 6th grade
Design successful choir levels, grade combinations, class sizes, and curriculums across six grade levels
