'It's fun! You get to make friends outside school. The places you get to go and the performances we do are awesome! We learn about octaves, harmonies, rounds and hand actions and how to sing properly'.

– Isobel, member of Young Voices

'I really enjoy the concerts especially the bigger events like Moonwalk and singing at Birmingham University. I have made some good friends and enjoy singing lots of different music'.

– Harry, member of Youth Voices
