- Students enrolled in public school, private school, homeschool, or Florida Virtual School.
- Singers taking private voice or piano lessons.
- Young musicians considering future studies or careers in music, music education, musical theatre, composition, music production, music business, music therapy, or other arts-related fields.
- Students pursuing STEM, humanities, or other disciplines who recognize the lifelong value of artistic excellence, creativity, and collaboration.
- Young people seeking confidence, meaningful friendships, and a welcoming community where they can thrive through music.
OUR CHOIRS & PROGRAMS
These advanced ensembles are for treble singers and changed voices in grade 6 through 12 that have a motivation and passion for vocal music of all kinds – musical theatre, classical, jazz, pop, etc. These ensembles will work on elevating the choral art form through multi-genre music programs, challenging repertoire, and artistry. Singers can expect multi-part music that will challenge and build their vocal technique, musicianship, and artistic excellence.
In addition to regular season concerts, these musicians will prepare for various special experiences, such as the Florida All-State choir, and state, regional, and national ACDA honor choirs. These singers will perform several times a year, including a genre-bending Spring Showcase and the Orlando Sings Choral Festival.

MENTORSHIP PROGRAM
This program is offered to musicians in 10th-12th grades who wish to mentor younger students in Aurora and Lux. Mentors are singers with musical expertise, leadership qualities, and a love for connecting with people through music. This program is perfect for individuals considering majoring or minoring in music education, vocal performance, music therapy, musical theatre, etc. as well as for those looking for leadership opportunities. Mentoring younger musicians gives the opportunity to invest in your own musical journey and others, highlighting the Orlando Sings values of Education, Community, Joy, Professionalism, and Collaboration through the younger generation.
