Through songs and games, the children improve their musicianship and singing technique. The Surrey Hills Young Voices are taught aurally and receive word sheets to learn the songs. Musical notation is available to children who wish to follow the music or for parents who wish to practise at home with the children. Recordings of the songs are issued on CDs to play at home. Once learnt, the songs will be performed from memory.

As well as learning songs, the children are taught musicianship skills such as rhythmic patterns, structure, scales, triads, harmony etc. Vocal technique is also included in the sessions through the warm-up and polishing songs.

Surrey Hills Young Voices Singing in a choir is great fun and the benefits are not only for the singer. For those learning an instrument, singing will improve other musicianship skills such as aural skills. For the wind player and sports fanatic, the physical aspects of breathing, posture and coordination will be beneficial. Reading and memory skills also improve through learning the songs and children soon understand that for the choir to perform well, working as a team is essential.

Rehearsals take place on Mondays during term time, at Cranleigh C of E Primary School, Parsonage Road, Cranleigh. They start at 3.30pm and last for one hour. There are no rehearsals during half term.
