abcd is the leading UK organisation devoted entirely to supporting everyone leading choral music. We are committed to promoting, improving and maintaining opportunities for the professional development of all those leading singing of any kind, whether in the classroom or in the community. Our members represent 2000 choral groups and include teachers, composers, singers and students, leading singing of all kinds. We:

- Offer online resources. Our resources cover practical tips and advice for choral leaders of all kinds. Members get free access to our webinar library with a huge range of topics.
- Run singing days with leading composers and conductors for singers around the UK.
- Provide a collective voice for singing leaders.
- Run an annual national weekend for all choir leaders. For nearly forty years our Annual Convention has provided a unique national forum.
