Children’s Chorus of Maryland empowers musical children and promotes the fine art of music. “We believe that music communicates the essence of the human spirit,” said founder, Dr. Bertaux. “What is best about us has been recorded in our musical heritage, and in teaching this language to children, we are passing on an essential part of the human experience to future generations.”

CCM alumni are young men and women who have mastered the skills of personal and collaborative commitment; discipline, dedication to both short and long term goals, and respect for peers and teachers.

These qualities enrich their lives and communities as they reach adulthood and carve out their places in the world. “Any parent or grandparent wanting to give a gift of lasting value to a child should give priority to a quality music education,” said Dr. Bertaux. “We have seen so many children improve dramatically in their schoolwork, as well as

in other areas.”
