Little Voices - ages 4-6
Our newest choir enables children to find their voice through an introduction to ear-training games, fun action songs & call and response. They develop their listening skills, pitch recognition and concentration via Kodaly methods and solfege patterns which accelerate learning. Starting children singing early makes a huge difference to their brain development! Current rates: £30 per term. |

|
Junior Voices - ages 6-9 We teach a range of music and introduce part-singing through fun rounds and canons. The children are trained to use good diction and tone, whilst developing their vocal range and musicianship. Kodaly methods help enhance their musical ear which prepares them for reading music too. The children perform at least once a term. Current rates: £40 per term |
|
Intermediate Voices - ages 9-12
This choir learns and performs a wide variety of musical genres to a high standard, for regular concerts and sometimes competitions. Kodaly methods are built upon in order to enhance their learning, sight reading skills and overall musicianship, whilst preparing pieces in up to 3 or 4 parts. Rehearsal commitment is essential in order to maintain high standards. In 2015, we were proud to win the national Manchester Amateur Choral youth competition, and from 2013-15 we came third in the International Musical Eisteddfod, Llangollen. Current Rates: £50 per term |

Senior Voices - ages 12-18 Our teenage choir is auditioned, developing singing and musicianship to the highest of standards, in up to 4 part harmony. The repertoire pool is wide and varied, with regular concerts and the opportunity to compete as a choir too. Skills in sight reading and musicianship are honed, with Kodaly methods underpinning their learning. Rehearsal commitment is an essential part of this choir. In November 2014 this choir was lucky enough to perform on tour with Andrea Bocelli. Current rates: £50 per term |

Dynamic Voices - adult
This is our adult amateur choir: anyone over 18 years is welcome and there is no upper limit and no audition! This is our community adult choir, which learns and performs a huge range of music from classical and musical theatre, to contemporary and popular genres. Both 3 and 4 part harmony is taught, with the chance to perform regularly too. We are fun, friendly, inclusive and very welcoming- there is no audition. Rehearsal tracks are also available to aid learning at home. Current rates: £50 per term. |

What is expected from me?
|
Regular and punctual attendance is expected from everyone –this is not just a ‘sing along’. We work as a team and this includes working together on diction, tuning and timing – too many absences make this tricky for those who are there!
Commitment to rehearsals is essential in order to develop good musicianship and be part of our regular performances. In return, we will provide... A team of highly qualified musicians with a wealth of conducting and vocal knowledge; an annual showcase concert performed by all of our choirs with a CD recording of our music; term time rehearsals; fund raising and social events; a team of DBS checked and trained chaperones. Come and JOIN US and be part of the FUN! Sign up now! |
