Group Leaders: Selwyn Thompson and Gareth Miller

Children’s Choir is suitable for children aged 6-11, either complete beginners to choirs, or young people who already enjoy singing in choirs during school time but would like to sing even more!

Over the course of the year, we will learn some effective warm up activities to look after your voice, developing good breathing techniques and extending note ranges. There will be the opportunity for smaller group singing and solo performances alongside learning to sing in harmony using rounds and partner songs initially. We prepare for a number of public performances throughout the year.

Our singing is usually accompanied by piano and young people are given lyric sheets to rehearse with at home. Young people will develop their confidence both musically and socially. Choir provides an excellent opportunity to make friends with people from other schools and different backgrounds with everyone working together towards one common goal. They will develop wider musicianship skills including pitch matching and musical expression. They will gain a deeper understanding of musical styles through the wide variety of songs we sing.

In partnership with North Tyneside Music Education Hub.

Rehearsals take place on Saturdays during term time. For more information on specific dates, please see our event calendar. For any queries, please email us.
