My son is in his 4th year as a Ragazzi boy and has had a wonderful experience, the highlight of which has been the most recent concert tour to South Africa. We get to see the result of all the work the boys and teachers put in at the concerts at the end of each semester, which are inevitably inspiring, but even more delightful is the smile on his face as he walks in from still humming after rehearsals each week. The combination of world class music, the camaraderie of like-minded boys and the opportunities for travel and personal growth make this an unbeatable activity for your budding singer.

My son has sung with Ragazzi for seven years and has been incredibly enriched by the experience. He has learned so much about music, singing, performing, traveling, other cultures, discipline, teamwork, and on and on. I highly recommend this outstanding music education and performance program!

The Ragazzi Boys Chorus is simply one of the greatest programs for boys. My son joined Ragazzi 1.5 years ago after trying the annual SingFest, and he loved it ever since. He always feels excited to go rehearsal weekly, absolutely enjoys all the performance. Even my younger son can sing quite many songs that the old brother learns from Ragazzi! The violin teacher noticed a big tone accuracy improvement of my son a few months after he joined the program. The dedicated music director, theory director, and all the friendly staff members make Ragazzi such a positive experience! The boys learn so much, not just music, but also discipline, dedication, friendship and team work! It's such a joy watching them perform, hearing them sing! My son is on the quiet side, singing opens his mouth, opens his mind and opens his world!
