IVYC is a community youth choir for boys and girls in grades 3-8. We serve the greater LaSalle County area. We save time for fun music games and social time. Mrs.

The IVYC is focused on developing a life-long love of music. We serve boys and girls in grades 3-8 in the greater Illinois Valley region. Students in the choir receive training in many areas of music education. They receive training in age-appropriate singing technique as well as musicality. Youth Choir is a perfect fit for children that love to sing. Everyone that joins shares a common love of singing and are dedicated to being the best performer they can be. Individual lessons are great but very expensive and the same skills can be learned in the comfort of a group setting. During most rehearsals, we practice music that we will sing at our concert. The choir gets together for some fun social events outside of rehearsal. IVYC meets on Tuesday evenings from 5:00-6:15. The choir is directed by Jenilyn Etheridge Roether. Roether is a native of the Illinois Valley and a former Youth Choir member. She holds a Bachelor of Music Education from Illinois Wesleyan University and a Master of Music Education from Northern Illinois University. She has been directing the choir since 2012.
