Singing with children has undergone a veritable boom in the last few years. School choirs, music school choirs, singing school choirs, project choirs – children have the opportunity to sing with others and develop their voices in many places. The “CAS Conducting Children’s Choirs” aims to further encourage this positive development, as a variety of skills from the teaching and artistic field are required to conduct a children’s choir.
