Parents’ quotes about CCL:
“Our child’s performing with CCL has proven to be a wonderful experience for our whole family! Through the encouraging, diligent, and patient instruction by Lisa Sempsey our child is learning the gift of music. Beyond watching our own child perform, our family is receiving an even greater reward. Through local fellowships inviting CCL to perform, we are experiencing community building and the bridging of varying faiths as families from across Lancaster county and beyond come together through childrens’ music.”
“[My son] loves music. He enjoys CCL immensely. Encourage your child(ren) to experience CCL. CCL exposed our son to a wide range of music genres both ancient and contemporary, and for that we are grateful. Through CCL [my son] is learning to express himself through music. CCL remains focused thanks to your discipline and devotion to music and the children. We heartily welcome the development and growth of CCL.”
“CCL has had a very positive impact on my son. CCL has helped him overcome his shyness and become more social with kids AND adults”.
“Children’s Choir of Lancaster has helped my daughter grow in numerous ways. The program built upon the concepts that she was already getting at the elementary setting, but her musical acumen blossomed as a result of her involvement in CCL. It is delightful to hear [her] continuing to sing the selections that she learned throughout the year. I believe that she is a more confident person, both socially and musically, because of CCL.”
“The director’s expertise and caring environment has not only made CCL a fun place for my child to learn and grow it has greatly improved my daughters voice. CCL is like private voice lessons where children learn to exercise and fine tune an instrument that they will carry with them for life….their voice.”
“[My daughter] has enjoyed making wonderful new friends while learning and practicing a variety of singing techniques, including breathing, pitch, posture and vocalization. She has really grown in her confidence and ability, all while having a great time singing with her friends. The director, Mrs. Lisa Sempsey, a truly gifted musician, does an incredible job of bringing out the very best in her musicians, while making it so fun they hardly know how much they are learning.”
“Our daughter…loves CCL. She is motivated by interesting music, the opportunity to learn new languages and by the fact that she has become a better singer since joining CCL. Due to the positive and supportive atmosphere, she has met and become friends with other young musicians. As parents, we are very happy that she is being introduced to excellent vocal pedagogy through CCL. Her confidence and abilities have grown since she joined the group and we are very grateful for the impact it has made on her.”
