For Schools
We help schools develop singing programmes which are tailor-made to your unique environment. Singing is proven to develop self-esteem, healthy lives and transferable skills. Cross-curricula outcomes and enhanced learning opportunities are facilitated through the skill set we help develop in your young people.
All our staff are qualified musicians, with a particular interest in developing singing skills for children. We aim to make our sessions fun and accessible for all. We ask that you provide us with a suitable space, and staff (where necessary) who want to support and engage with singing activities and assist us with behaviour management and wellbeing.
We offer bespoke sessions as wells as a five week program and a ten week program. These programmes are funded through our charitable giving. If you see the benefits of our work and value them, we ask you to contact us.
Outcomes
We aim to deliver outcomes that are cross-curricula. As well as developing musical skills and abilities, choral singing is proven to improve psychological wellbeing[1] and can contribute to wider curricula outcomes in a range of other areas (most notable science (vocal mechanism) and English/Drama (expression.)[2] Our staff are qualified singing specialists, and this is an important consideration in devising and delivering a programme tailored to your school and your children’s needs.[3]
