25 Seasons 25 Lives: Meet the alumni of The Choir School

25 Seasons 25 Lives: Max Singleton

Max Singleton first joined The Boys Choir of The Choir School when he was six years old. Today he studies Performance, specializing in Voice, at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, where he has the high distinction of being a 2015 - 2016 Minerva Scholar of the College of Visual and Performing Arts.

" I was one of those little kids who ran around the house singing all the time. My mom was thrilled when a flyer for The Choir School showed up in the mail. She probably called for an audition the day it arrived."

"The Choir School taught me how to do my best

for something bigger than just me. "

"My years at The Choir School gave me musical knowledge, professionalism, and other skills that have definitely given me an edge. Especially from the aspect of music theory - once I got to college I could see others struggling with things that I just knew. My best advice for young people just beginning to study music: don't let the difficulties cloud your drive. It isn't always going to be easy, but if you focus on the thing that made you want to sing in the first place, you are going to accomplish some pretty cool things. "

One of the best things about The Choir School was the friends I made there. They are definitely a permanent part of my life. I don't always know when or where our paths will cross again, but I know they will and I'm always glad."

Max lives in Greensboro where, among many activities, he leads the UNCG Spartones, a men's a cappella group.
