Amplify Your Voice
One of two choirs in the Department of Music & Dance, the Concert Choir is the major ensemble for voice majors and is open by audition to non-majors as well. In addition to exploring the canon of choral literature over the ages and across cultures, the West Valley College Concert Choir regularly joins with The Winchester Orchestra to perform major choral/orchestral works.
We are the only community college in South Bay and one of very few in California to offer one hour, 1:1 instruction once per week with stellar music faculty through our Applied Voice Music program.
