WHAT IS CHOIR NINJA
Music literacy that fits naturally into your daily rehearsal.
Choir Ninja is a scaffolded sight-reading and music literacy curriculum designed for real choir classrooms. Each lesson takes just a few minutes of rehearsal time, with skills that build step by step as students become more confident and independent music readers.

FROM THE CHOIR ROOM
What Choir Directors Are Saying
This is just what I needed! I have always searched for something to help keep my students excited about sight reading.
Bradley S.
Choir Director, 6-12
The Choir Ninja program is exactly what I need to teach foundational music literacy skills to my beginning choirs. I've looked at other options, but the fact that Choir Ninja comes with Sight Reading Factory pre-sets and a robust rubric really sets it apart from the rest.
Kristine P.
Middle School Choir Director
I really like how it is laid out. It is really flexible in the way it is laid out and really could be used with upper elementary through early high school. I plan to use it with 6th, 7th and 8th grade choir this year.

Middle School Choir Director
