We've updated our COVID-19 guidance for choral leaders

We've updated our detailed guidance for choirs and conductors to reflect the latest government guidelines for England. Our practical guide and risk assessment guidance are available to everyone.

Our guidance page includes a list of suppliers of singers' face masks.

Direct links to the relevant government guidance for choirs is also on our COVID-19 resource pages. There have been some updates to the community facilities guidance though it could be clearer - there is more detail and links to ACRE (Action in Communities in Rural England) in our guidance which we hope is helpful for anyone struggling with venue hire.

We plan to add guidance for N. Ireland, Scotland and Wales soon! There is more useful detail for groups in devolved nations on Making Music and Incorporated Society of Musicians websites.
