Abstract	Over the last decade research has reported a range of positive life and learning outcomes for adult and child choristers through first-person accounts derived through surveys and interviews. Little is known regarding parent and child perspectives on choral learning, particularly regarding the impacts of participating in excellent choirs on musical development, personal benefits, and contributing factors. This study interviewed six parents and their children regarding their perceptions of the impact of singing in a renowned Australian choir on the child's musical development and personal growth. The PERMA model was utilized to analyze individual interviews. Findings show that Positive Emotions included enjoyment and humor; Engagement consisted of early exposure to singing, motivation, practising, and future plans for involvement in music; Relationships comprised strong friendships, belonging, and acceptance; Meaning encompassed valuing professional opportunities and cultural experiences; and Accomplishment incorporated musical, performance, and personal skills. Implications for choral educators include the need to balance striving for high singing standards with recognition of children's needs and age limitations. (As Provided).
