The results are in from our 2024 Family Survey. Getting feedback from parents every year helps us better understand the impact of our programs, learn what is important to families, and improve the overall choir experience. Here are our findings.
The first question relates to overall satisfaction:
How satisfied are you with the quality of the choral music education your child has received?
Our mission is to provide the highest quality music education to San Diego youth so it was wonderful to see we received a ranking of 4.6 out of 5.
We were also curious to find out how the child’s experience impacted them in terms of the following:
Increased confidence
Sense of belonging/community of friends
Vocal and musical skill development
Performance opportunities
Personal growth
Here is a summary of the results.
