The Surrey Hills Young Voices is an independent choir for all children from any school aged 8+. Come along and try the choir any time. Trial rehearsals are free of charge. 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.
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. The Surrey Hills Young Voices have already built an excellent reputation and are regularly invited to perform at the invitation of local organisations. Their performance as the Surrey Hills Workshop Choir 2010 at the inaugural Cranleigh Music Festival was extremely exciting and in July 2011 they will perform at the Big Day Out Event at Hurtwood Park Polo Club. Rehearsals take place on Mondays during term time, at Cranleigh C of E Primary School, Parsonage Road, Cranleigh. Times for the whole choir are from 4.15 to 5.15, plus an extra 20 mins for the older children. There are no rehearsals during half term. Cost is £4 per session. Repertoire |
