The Boys’ Choir is open to boys aged eight to voice change – Year 3 upwards. Previous experience is not necessary – we’re pleased to hear about boys who sing in their school choirs, have music lessons, or have taken music exams, but it’s not needed. What we are looking for are:

• A love of singing and music
• The beginnings of a ‘musical ear’
• A willingness to get involved and learn new things
• Parental support for their choir membership

Choristerships are free of charge. Choristers develop valuable life skills and gain self-confidence while receiving a unique musical education. Choristers receive:

• a unique and fun musical education
• activities, trips, and concerts
• new friendships
• pocket-money pay
• excellent vocal training
• RSCM Award and AB Theory training
• crucial life skills (such as confidence, teamwork, responsibility and leadership)
• reinforced academic skills (such as literacy, numeracy and languages)

The Boys’ Choir was founded in around 1879, and runs in parallel to the Girls’ Choir and on an equal basis.

Boys’ commitments during term-time are:

Wednesday	5.30 to 7.00pm Singing rehearsal and tuition 7.00 to 7.30pm Music theory tuition
Every second Sunday	9.15 to 11.15am Rehearsal and service (Eucharist) 3.15 to 4.45pm Rehearsal and service (Choral Evensong)
Other times	Festivals, concerts, tours as arranged
