Youth Choirs
Our Youth choirs aren’t running right now.
Watch this space for more youth singing opportunities!!
YOUTH WORKSHOPS COMING SOON!
We believe every child should have the opportunity to sing. Everyone is welcome, there are no auditions and our emphasis is on creating a nurturing environment where our younger members can develop musically, have lots of fun and make new friends.
What we do
Running in Walthamstow since 2012, Natural Voices has three youth choirs: our Junior Youth Choir for 5-7 year olds, and our Middle Choir for 8-11 year olds and the Senior Youth Choir (aka the Natural Voices Youth Collective) from secondary school onwards.
We believe every child should have the opportunity to sing. Everyone is welcome, there are no auditions and our emphasis is on creating a nurturing environment where our younger members can develop musically, have lots of fun and make new friends. It’s wonderful to see youth choir members growing in confidence by the month.
We learn everything by ear with fun warm-ups and games and learn a great mixture of pop and musical theatre songs and work towards performances for friends and family and our community.
Sessions are £6.00 each, booked in half-termly blocks. You can pay online by bank transfer or by cash and card at your choir. If you have any questions, email Meg at meg@naturalvoices.co.uk.
WHAT OUR SINGERS SAY!
Our approach
There are no auditions for the youth choirs as children are still developing musically. We’ve heard so many stories about children being turned away, thrown out or told to mime in choirs. These experiences can stay with them for life, and they become adults who avoid the joy of singing because they think they can’t.
A child who has problems with tuning can learn to sing in tune in the space of a few terms – it’s just about being given the opportunity and support. Keep children singing in a nurturing environment and they will improve.
