Choirs

 (0-5 years, with their carers)

Mini Voices is a weekly music group run by a highly experienced music teacher, focused on learning the basic building blocks, which are excellent for general development.  It meets in The Explorer Hut 10-11am on a Monday morning during term-time, which includes time for tea, coffee & chat.   Sessions are themed linking to the story of the day, we sing songs from the Song Sack, then there is time for free play and cup of tea/coffee for the grown-ups concluding with story and sticker time.  Charge is £40 + VAT (£48) per term or £4.50 + VAT (£5.40) weekly – we have a card machine!

 (6-18 years)

Young & Youth Voices is a non-audition community choir created for children who enjoy singing with others and want to learn a wide range of music.  Over the years the choir has had the opportunity to sing in the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden; Symphony Hall, Birmingham and regularly in Lichfield Cathedral.  We meet in Minster Hall (central Lichfield) from 4.30pm-5.30pm on a Monday afternoon.  Charge is £40 + VAT (£48) per term with a trial session free although financial support is available if needed!  We have currently merged our Young & Youth Voices choirs together with our older members from 13+ acting as Young Singing Leaders.

MusicShare was established in 2003 as a programme that took Cathedral Choristers out into the wider community to work with children of a similar age.  The Cathedral Choristers are still heavily involved in the work today as Young Singing Leaders and exemplars of what is possible with dedication and hard work.  Learn more about Choristerships.
