Brooklyn Youth Chorus provides structured voice training for young people aged 5 to 18, focusing on healthy vocal development, music literacy, and group performance. The program runs from September to June each year and is organized into ten divisions according to age and experience. Training is delivered through a holistic, experiential method developed by founder and artistic director Dianne Berkun Menaker, emphasizing practical voice technique and sight-reading within a group setting. The organization operates multiple performing ensembles that deliver professional-level performances in venues ranging from concert halls to professional recording studios. Older students participate in ensembles that engage in year-long projects, including live appearances, professional recordings, and original choral productions. Based in Brooklyn, New York, the group is a mid-sized music-education organization focused on youth choral development.
