Our 2024 Family Survey Says...

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.

As to how many parents would recommend the San Diego Children’s Choir to a friend, we saw a whopping 97% of parents respond YES! 

Here are several of the (over 40) responses to the question: “Why would you recommend choir to a friend?”

“Because of the high level of teachers, directors and classes while being also fun. Performances are amazing. We are proud to be part of SDCC.”

“The kids gain a great musical education and it is an outstanding organization with awesome directors! We love SDCC.”

“The progressive promotion structure that has real mile markers in musical achievement and stage comportment: This is the only children's choir in the region that trains well-enough for them to be professional choralists AND provides top tier performance opportunities…”

Our sincere thanks to all the parents who responded to our survey, with both positive and constructive feedback! We honor and cherish the support and enthusiasm for this special community.
