Singing Opportunities
Choirs
Youth Choir
Youth Choir is for pupils at secondary school (Yr.7) up to 21 years of age. The choir sings a wide variety of music including jazz, pop, classical, musical theatre and music from other cultures. They perform at RMS concerts throughout the year, including the Christmas concert at the Town Hall and as part of the Royal Albert Hall festival. This academic year, there are plans to take the choir on a residential and for additional performance opportunities. Members of the Youth Choir have the opportunity to audition for a subsidised Music School 30 minute singing lesson. Youth Choir members do not need to be having formal singing lessons to join, but it helps to sing in the school choir.

Singing Club
Singing Club provides a safe space for children to develop their singing voice in a relaxed, fun atmosphere. Good vocal technique is taught through a wide variety of styles, including pop, folk, classical, musical theatre and world music. Choir members experience singing in harmony and have opportunities to develop their confidence as a soloist. Singing Club is highly beneficial for pupils already playing, or wishing to learn an instrument, as the musicianship skills developed in this class create a foundation for all future music learning.
