JEDDAH: A new choral initiative launched by Aloula, in partnership with the Saudi Music Hub, has brought youngsters aged 9-18 into a structured vocal training program that will culminate in a performance of the Saudi national anthem.
The two-month initiative, which was launched in November, is one of the first children’s choral programs led by a nonprofit organization in Saudi Arabia.
In the rehearsal room, 75 children are learning how to sing the Saudi national anthem “Aash Al-Maleek,” and “Watani Al Habib” in a full choral arrangement.
Among the singers is 14-year-old Nawaf Al-Qahtani, who said the experience had helped him grow as a performer. (Supplied)
Participants attend vocal training sessions three times a week, from Monday to Wednesday, focusing on technique, listening skills, and ensemble performance.
