We offer children and young people opportunities to take part in high quality choral activties such as residential choral courses. We believe in the power of excellent choral music and musical teamwork to inspire and change lives and to share this experience with as many young people as possible.

Situation
We address the lack of high quality choral music for children and young people. Access to high quality music education is limited in schools and this has worsened with pressure on school budgets. A 2022 survey found that spend on music provision was greatly affected by school budget cuts and great inequality of provision from school to school. Increasingly, good music education is becoming the preserve of the better off who can afford extra curricular music lessons and activities.
Solution
We know that choral singing has the power to transform lives and bring communities together, enriching our culture and economy. Our aim is to remove financial barriers and broaden access to our courses, partnering with national organisations working with children and young people in deprived areas and offering bursary funding to their students to attend one of our courses. We seek to make all our activities open to all regardless of financial background by providing support wherever needed
