Live Music
Academy Prep of Tampa Youth Choir
The Academy Prep of Tampa Youth Choir was formed in 2008 under the direction of music teacher Keith Allen, a native of Dayton, Ohio. Who has been teaching at APT since that year. The APT choir consists of 5th through 8th grade boys and girls performing regularly throughout the school year. They have been featured at the Meals on Wheels Breakfast events for the past ten years. The annual APT Breakfast and other special events are also part of their busy touring schedule. Many Academy Prep graduates go on to perform in high school and college singing ensembles. We are very proud of the APT choir and their success over the years.
Sing Out and READ is honored to host APT Choir to demonstrate the power of music and how singing can help a child SOAR!
