Make new friends, build confidence, and perform music that makes you feel amazing in Newcastle’s newest and most exciting children’s choir.
Designed for young people aged 7-10, each session is fun and engaging and uses music from a wide variety of styles and cultures. We’ll explore warm-ups, rounds, part singing and vocal harmony to get the most from our voices. Over the year, there’ll be the opportunity to take part in a number of public performances and the chance to work together with our Newcastle Youth Choir.
Welcoming young people aged 13-16 years old, these sessions are focused on the music that young people want to sing and play. Including a mixture of singing, musical games, songwriting and playing, we’ll do our best to make sure everyone has a great time playing and creating music! Participants might have never played music before, they might want to improve their musical skills or they might just want to try something a little different.
