This new programme is designed for those who have not had the experience of choral singing and training in childhood. It is suitable for choirs of any age, including schools, churches or youth clubs where teenagers are introduced to choral singing for the first time. This programme is an alternative point of entry into the Voice for Life scheme and offers adults a modified version of the basic introduction to choral singing pioneered in Children's Voices . A white badge will signify membership of this programme of Voice for Life . On completion, singers will be able to wear the Dark Blue badge and ribbon.
People join choirs because they want to sing and they enjoy singing.
Both forms offer material for discussion, reflection and review. Within this collection you will find short songs, canons and a varied selection of songs in unison or two parts. For each song there is an indication of the appropriate Voice for Life level. This will enable choir trainers to complement training material with suitable repertoire, and singers will be able to work on extra pieces, perhaps using some of them to prepare for Voice for Life assessments. The short songs will be very useful as warm-ups.
