We provide video footage from each session so that participants can continue their learning between sessions.

"A well-designed course delivered with warmth and expert knowledge." - Conductor, Spring 2022 Initial Course

Passes are awarded at Leading the Singing and Foundation level:

• By the end of this course, those who have passed Leading the Singing should understand simple beat patterns and basic singing leadership skills such as cueing, pauses, setting tempi and being able to lead a warm-up, and have a better knowledge of how to improve choral sound.
• Those who have passed Foundation will have demonstrated confidence in these and developed choral gesture and some independence of hands. A pass at Foundation level also indicates that the participant is ready for the Emerging course, should they wish to continue their training.
