Choir Information Form
The VSA Choir program was initiated in 1988
in Madison. There were six participants the first year and now more than
30 members make up the VSA Choir of Madison. Today, VSA has 11 choirs statewide
with more than 300 members with and without disabilities.
VSA Choirs fill a need for quality recreational and social activities
for individuals with disabilities and also provide valuable opportunities
for
social interaction between people with and without disabilities. New
skills are learned and friendships are formed. Benefits to the community
at large
come from local choir performances, which promote a heightened appreciation
of the talents of people with disabilities. These performances also encourage
increased acceptance of individuals with disabilities into the mainstream
of the community.
