PSCA'S CHOIRS AND CHILDH false false 160751 FUNCTIONAL CATEGORIES 1) CONCENTIO THIS ENSEMBLE, WHICH INCLUDES GIRLS AGES 11-18, PERFORMS THROUGHOUT THE PITTSBURGH REGION AND TRAVELS NATIONALLY AND INTERNATIONALLY. CONCENTIO GIVES GIRLS OF ALL CULTURAL, GEOGRAPHIC, AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC BACKGROUNDS THE OPPORTUNITY TO SING IN THE COMMUNITY. THE ENSEMBLE IS AN UNCOMPETITIVE MUSICAL ENVIRONMENT, WHERE GIRLS LEARN TO USE MUSIC AS A POSITIVE EMOTIONAL OUTLET AND WORK TOGETHER IN A SPIRIT OF MUTUAL RESPECT AND ENCOURAGEMENT. CONCENTIO DOES NOT HAVE A COMPETITIVE OR SELECTIVE AUDITION PROCESS; ALL GIRLS ARE TAUGHT MUSICAL SKILLS AND ARE MENTORED TO MAKE THEIR BEST CONTRIBUTION. THE ENSEMBLE IS ALSO A CLIQUE-FREE ENVIRONMENT, WHERE THE UNIQUE CONTRIBUTION OF EVERY GIRL IS VALUED AND WHERE HEALTHY FRIENDSHIPS ARE FOSTERED. THE DEMOGRAPHICS (RACE, ETHNICITY, SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS) OF THE CHOIR ARE DIVERSE, REFLECTING OUR VISION TO GROW INTO A HIGHLY ACCESSIBLE CHORAL COMMUNITY THAT TRULY REFLECTS THE CULTURAL AND GEOGRAPHIC DIVERSITY OF THE PITTSBURGH REGION. A GROWING NUMBER OF STUDENTS ARE FROM WILKINSBURG, HOMEWOOD, AND CENTRAL LAWRENCEVILLE, AND FINANCIAL AID IS MADE AVAILABLE TO ALL QUALIFYING FAMILIES. 2) CHAMBER CHOIR THIS ENSEMBLE INCLUDES MEMBERS OF CONCENTIO WHO HAVE MADE AN EXTRAORDINARY COMMITMENT TO REHEARSAL AND PERFORMANCE. THE CHAMBER CHOIR PERFORMS FOR SOCIAL AND CHARITY EVENTS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, STRENGTHENING OUR CONNECTIONS IN PITTSBURGH. MEMBERS OF THE CHAMBER CHOIR SUPPORT CONCENTIO AS MENTORS AND SECTION LEADERS. 3) MELODIA, HARMONIA AND VIA MELODIA, HARMONIA AND VIA (AKA THE "TRAINING CHOIRS") INCLUDE GIRLS FROM GRADES K-7 AND ARE GROUPED BY AGE AND SKILL. THESE TWO CHOIRS EDUCATE YOUNG SINGERS IN MUSICAL LITERACY, HEALTHY VOCAL PRODUCTION, AND CHORAL FUNDAMENTALS, AS WELL AS SIGHT SINGING, PART SINGING, AND FOREIGN LANGUAGES. CHOIR MEMBERS DEVELOP MUSICAL SKILLS THROUGH AGE-APPROPRIATE REPERTOIRE, MUSICAL GAMES, AND EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES THAT STRETCH THE YOUNG SINGER. DUE TO RECRUITING EFFORTS IN UNDERSERVED NEIGHBORHOODS, THESE TWO CHOIRS ARE HIGHLY RICH AND DIVERSE. MEMBERS GRADUATE THROUGH THE PROGRAM AND MAY EVENTUALLY MOVE TO CONCENTIO. MELODIA IS FOR GIRLS IN FIRST THROUGH THIRD GRADE. AN EMPHASIS ON MUSICAL GAMES, FOLK SONGS, SOLFEGE, AND RHYTHM LEARNING MAKES MUSIC EDUCATION FUN AND PHYSICAL. MELODIA PERFORMS AT THE ANNUAL CHRISTMAS CONCERT, AT THE MAY MELODIA & HARMONIA CONCERT, AT THE ANNUAL SINGATHON AND SINGALONG, AND AT LOCAL VENUES SEVERAL TIMES A YEAR. HARMONIA, FOR GIRLS IN THIRD THROUGH SEVENTH GRADE, BUILDS ON THE FUNDAMENTALS TAUGHT IN MELODIA. SINGING PRIMARILY IN TWO OR THREE PARTS, HARMONIA PERFORMS AT THE ANNUAL CHRISTMAS CONCERT, AT THE MAY MELODIA & HARMONIA CONCERT, AT THE ANNUAL SINGATHON AND SINGALONG, AND AT OTHER LOCAL VENUES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. VIA IS A TRANSITIONAL CHOIR FROM THE TRAINING CHOIR PROGRAM TO CONCENTIO. GIRLS CONTINUE TO DEVELOP PART SINGING SKILLS AND MUSICAL LITERACY. THIS TRANSITIONAL CHOIR ENABLES THEM TO BECOME MORE INDEPENDENT AND MORE GREATLY PREPARED FOR THE ADVANCED REPERTOIRE SUNG BY CONCENTIO. IN ADDITION TO WEEKLY REHEARSALS, THEY PARTICIPATE IN A WEEK LONG CAMP, A WINTER RETREAT AND A 3 DAY TOUR. 5) VIVO OUR FIRST BOYCHOIR INCLUDES BOYS FROM GRADES 1-6. VIVO EDUCATES YOUNG SINGERS IN MUSICAL LITERACY, HEALTHY VOCAL PRODUCTION, AND CHORAL FUNDAMENTALS, AS WELL AS SIGHT SINGING, PART SINGING, AND FOREIGN LANGUAGES. CHOIR MEMBERS DEVELOP MUSICAL SKILLS THROUGH AGE-APPROPRIATE REPERTOIRE, MUSICAL GAMES, AND EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES THAT STRETCH THE YOUNG SINGER. VIVO PERFORMS AT THE ANNUAL CHRISTMAS CONCERT, THE MAY TRAINING CHOIR CONCERT, AND THE ANNUAL SINGATHON. 6) NEIGHBORHOOD MUSIC OUTREACH NEIGHBORHOOD MUSIC OUTREACH, WHICH BEGAN IN SEPTEMBER 2010 AS WILKINSBURG SINGS AT THE HOSANNA HOUSE, SERVES AT-RISK AND DISADVANTAGED CHILDREN IN PRESCHOOL, PREKINDERGARTEN, AND GRADES K-3. THE PROGRAM HELPS CHILDREN IN UNDERSERVED NEIGHBORHOODS TO SEE WHAT IS POSSIBLE IN THEIR OWN LIVES AND IN THE WORLD AROUND THEM BY ENGAGING IN MUSIC. IN UNDERSERVED NEIGHBORHOODS, WE TEACH WEEKLY "MUSIC AND MOVEMENT" CLASSES TO BOYS AND GIRLS AND WORK WITH THEIR CLASSROOM TEACHERS TO ENRICH THE LIVES OF STUDENTS WHO HAVE FEW MUSICAL OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE TO THEM IN THEIR OWN NEIGHBORHOODS. THE PROGRAM IS A COMPREHENSIVE CURRICULUM WITH MEASURABLE GOALS IN INTELLECTUAL, SOCIAL, EMOTIONAL, AND MUSICAL DEVELOPMENT. WE WORK WITH THE CLASSROOM TEACHERS TO CONTINUALLY EVALUATE AND IMPROVE THE OPPORTUNITIES WE OFFER THEIR STUDENTS THROUGH MUSIC. NEIGHBORHOOD MUSIC OUTREACH CURRENTLY SERVES OVER 80 CHILDREN IN WILKINSBURG AND THE NORTH SIDE. 7) WOMEN OF SONG WOMEN OF SONG IS A CHOIR CLASS FOR WOMEN OF ALL AGES. IT PROVIDES TRAINING IN HEALTHY VOCAL PRODUCTION, LITERACY AND ENSEMBLE SKILLS FOR WOMEN WHO ARE EITHER UNTRAINED OR WHO HAVE NOT SUNG FOR MANY YEARS. FOR THOSE WHO ARE MORE SKILLED, WOMEN OF SONG PREPARES THEM FOR MORE DEMANDING CHOIR AUDITIONS SUCH AS THE "MENDELSSOHN CHOIR". OTHER WOMEN FIND THIS A GOOD FIT FOR THE LONG TERM. THIS CHOIR PERFORMS AT CANTERBURY PLACE AND THE REFORMED PRESBYTERIAN HOME. 160751 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false 5 0 true 5 false false false false false false false X 9 9 false false false false false false false true true false false true false false false false false false PA X X PITTSBURGH SCHOOL FOR THE CHORAL ARTS 4122677707 PO BOX 9062 PITTSBURGH PA 15224 X PAULA CLEMENS MD BOARD CHAIR 3.00 X X 0 0 0 JOHN PATRICK BERNARD SECRETARY 3.00 X X 0 0 0 JAY GILMEER ESQ BOARD MEMEBR 3.00 X 0 0 0 REBEKAH HILL BOARD MEMBER 3.00 X 0 0 0 MARK ANDERSON BOARD MEMBER 3.00 X 0 0 0 MAGGIE ANDERSON BOARD MEMBER 3.00 X 0 0 0 SHANNON MARY SIMS BOSRD MEMBER 3.00 X 0 0 0 REBECCA RADCLIFFE TREASURER 3.00 X 0 0 0 false false false 2500 43549 46049 TUITION 711130 101898 101898 FUNDRAISING 711130 41498 41498 TIKET SALES 711130 6942 6942 BOOKINGSD- HONORARIA 711130 2508 2508 TOUR PARTICIPATION 711130 2400 2400 2964 2964 158210 204259 158210 118742 100930 17812 9387 8832 555 3942 3351 591 1820 1547 273 3059 2600 459 4679 3977 702 PROGRAM EXPENSE 36289 29993 6296 TOUR 9456 8038 1418 FUNDRAISING EXPENSE 9189 9189 SUPPLIES 1745 1483 262 198308 160751 28368 9189 14787 15979 8000 2050 -928 16837 23051 1406 1669 1406 1669 X 15431 21382 15431 21382 16837 23051 5951 X true X false false X 31769 35500 13935 46365 46049 173618 98185 113145 166044 137597 158210 673181 129954 148645 179979 183962 204259 846799 846799 129954 148645 179979 183962 204259 846799 1.00000 0.93920 0.00000 0.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED X SCHEDULE D, PAGE 3, PART X PITTSBURGH SCHOOL FOR THE CHORAL ARTS ACCOUNTS FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES USING A RECOGNITION THRESHOLD OF MORE-LIKELY-THAN-NOT TO BE SUSTAINED UPON EXAMINATION BY THE APPROPRIATE TAXING AUTHORITY.
