Welcome!

Kids of Note is a non-auditioned, integrated choir for children and youth, with and without disabilities, who love to sing. We have 25 members, ages 7 and up, some of whom have been with the group since it began in 2005. Kids of Note is directed by children’s entertainer Brenda Baker, with pianist Ken Neitz.

The Notations is a small ensemble of youth and young adult singers, some of whom are “graduates” of Kids of Note. Directed by Diane Phillips, we perform on our own during Kids of Note concerts, as well as joining them on several songs.

Every year our two groups perform a Christmas and a Spring concert to a full house at Grosvenor Park United Church. While the church generously provides a “home” for us, and a few of our songs are drawn from the Judeo-Christian repertoire, our choirs are not religious per se. That said, our music is uplifting, fun and often challenging.

Kids of Note is made possible through the volunteer efforts of approximately 100 people and the generous donations of many, many more. Corporate sponsorships and community grants also help to sustain our programs.

Thanks to a generous bequest left to Grosvenor Park United Church from the Estate of William McLaughlan, we were able to create a great website. Kids of Note and The Notations wish to thank the late Mr. McLaughlan and his family for making our dream possible.
