These short courses run before Chamber Choir, so you can make an evening of it!

Some experience required

The Chamber Choir explores a wide range of repertoire from 15th century to contemporary choral music, and the choir works towards performances each term.

Level of experience required: Previous experience of singing in a choir and a fair ability to read music is required. You should be able to pitch notes with confidence.

If you are new to the choir your first session will be a trial session.

If you are new to the choir and would prefer an informal audition please leave your details with Reception and the tutor will ring you to arrange this. If you would like to receive further details please leave your details with Reception, or email us at info@conservatoire.org.uk

A relaxed informal introduction to vocal music, this choir is ideal for those with little or no choral experience. Adult students gain the confidence to sing in a group exploring a wide variety of music. The ability to read music is not a course requirement as repertoire will be learnt both by ear, and from a vocal score. The choir works towards performances each term.

This is the ideal next step for those singers who have already had some experience in the Find Your Voice choir or who feel more confident about their singing. Music is learnt both aurally and with scores where appropriate. Repertoire is carefully selected to enable members to sing from scores comfortably. You will gain a working knowledge of vocal technique and interpretation and the confidence to enjoy your music making and to take your singing further. All levels welcome.

Trials sessions

These are available for your first session. Please ask Reception for details. You won’t be charged anything if after your first session you feel you have enrolled in the wrong choir. Advice will be given by the tutor as to a possible alternative.

Some ability to read music and/or experience of singing is desirable.
