To coincide with Gareth Malone's new series of The Choir on BBC2, which begins on 20th September, BBC Learning has produced a website providing information on how to set up a choir at work. www.bbc.co.uk/thechoir includes a step-by-step guide on how to set up a workplace choir, from gaining management support to your choir's first performance. There are videos and a downloadable 'starting your choir' checklist branding to include in emails and newsletters, plus posters to promote your first rehearsal and your first performance. The site also includes video tutorials for anyone starting to sing with a choir and downloadable sheet music.
More details on workplace choirs can also be found at www.musicinoffices.com. Music in Offices currently run 22 choirs and also the prestigious Office Choir of the Year competition, presented in partnership with Classic FM.
