The Yarra Voices is a vibrant Melbourne-based children’s choir that champions exceptional music education and inspiring choral experiences. With a focus on nurturing both musical and personal growth, The Yarra Voices provides a joyful and child centred approach to performance. Under the guidance of Artistic Director Renee Heron and our wonderful team of music educators, the choir offers a nurturing environment where students develop their music literacy and performance skills. The aim is to instil a lifelong love of music while fostering both musical and personal growth.

​

The Yarra Voices emphasises a joyful and child centred approach to learning. The choir is informed by the Kodály music education philosophy, which prioritises ear training, music reading and aural skills through a developmental sequence. This method is integrated with vocal technique and performance expression ensuring a well-rounded musical education for students.

​

 As a close-knit and inclusive organisation, The Yarra Voices builds community-based friendships and provides individual attention to help each child reach their full potential. The choir performs regularly at events across Melbourne, including appearances at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and the City of Melbourne’s ‘A Christmas Tale’ at Federation Square. Their versatility is highlighted through collaborations with local Melbourne-based musicians, recordings such as their contribution to The Avalanches’ album We Will Always Love You and their future participation in The Chronicles with Stephanie Lake Company as part of Rising Festival 2025 .
