PGC Coastside is a satellite chorus offered to 3rd-5th grade girls at Hatch Elementary & El Granada Elementary Schools in Half Moon Bay. Singers learn the vocal technique necessary to create a lovely choral sound including; proper breath support, vowel placement and shape, musical accuracy, posture, diction and intonation. Performance skills and etiquette are also emphasized. Singers receive training in musicianship and music literacy as well. Some music is performed in foreign languages, with emphasis on Spanish-language literature, given that so many of our PGC Coastside members are Spanish speakers.

"Transcendent. I love everything about it. The earnestness and sincerity of the effort. The compassion of the leaders and their care for the girls, not just the performance. It's a beautiful project. The epitome of community.”
“The PGC has provided the absolute best education for our girls. It is truly one of the best chorus groups on the Peninsula. The musicianship education makes our commitment to this group an easy addendum to our girls’ overall education.”
"Our daughter has been in PGC for 6 years and loves it. She was always a girl who loved to sing, but she has become a singer thanks to PGC. . . Confidence born of accomplishment is a gift you can give your girl by signing her up for PGC!”
"The vocal and musical education I received with PGC is unparalleled. PGC offers a musical, social and educational experience unlike any other and girls of all ages and backgrounds can benefit from its programs.”
"PGC is amazing! I have sung so many different styles of music in all sorts of different languages over my many years in PGC, from pieces in Hawaiian and Hindi to Mozart. I always loved to sing, but PGC has fostered that joy and taught me great technique and musicianship at the same time. PGC is a great community and a wonderful place to grow.”
"PGC is what continues to help me through the week. It helps me take my mind off of things that are stressing me out like homework or high school applications. Singing with PGC makes me feel happy”.
