During 2010, we will be helping seven choirs from around the UK to run free 6-week courses to teach people in their local communities to sing. This project is being funded by Arts Council England, and is run in partnership with Choir of the Year and the British Association of Barbershop Singers(BABS).
Participants will be taught the basics of singing, including how to look after the voice and sing in harmony through to performance skills and rhythm and voice development across a range of different styles of music from rock and pop through to the classics. They will not only learn to sing with confidence and discover the joy of group singing, but also secure the huge health benefits that singing provides and meet new people.
As part of our partnership with Choir of the Year, participants in the singing courses will be invited to attend their nearest Area Selection day, and may find themselves performing on the stage of one of the UK's major music venues, alongside some of the 200 singing groups of all ages and styles that take part in this important competition.
Details of each course can be found by following the links below. Please contact the host choir if you are interested in attending one of the courses.
- Manchester, with the St. George's Singers starting from 26 January
- Manchester, with the Salford Choral Society starting from the 27 January
- Welwyn Garden City, with the Welwyn Garden Music Society starting from 8 February
- Bristol, with the Great Western Chorus and Avonbelles starting from 10 February
- Tynemouth, with the Tynemouth Choral Society starting from 15 February
- Wokingham, with Wokingham Choral Society starting from 11 March
- Leicester, with the Leicester Philharmonic Choir starting from 29 March
This project follows from our hugely successful pilot 'Learn to Sing' course in Egham last year, which resulted in 60 new members for Egham Choral Society and a further 80 who joined a new beginners singing group - which is still going strong!
