Join the Junior Choirs – Come and SING! Days
Come along to a free ‘Come and SING!’ try-out day and enjoy singing with a new group of friends – even bring a friend with you! Junior Choirs (for ages 8-14) meet every month on a Saturday at Fort Pitt Grammar School in Chatham and perform in concerts three times a year. No experience required!
The rehearsal/try-out days run from 9am to 1.15pm. There will be an informal audition during the day. Please register your interest with Valerie Cordina at countygroups@kent-music.com.
Upcoming dates: 12 Oct/09 Nov/30 Nov/11 Jan/08 Feb/07 Mar/16 May/13 Jun
Repertoire
Both choirs sing a variety of repertoire that is designed to give young singers an awareness of different periods and cultures of vocal music. The music is chosen carefully to provide an assortment of lighter pieces that may be arrangements of popular and folk songs and music from the classical periods.
Standard
The Kent County Junior Singers perform from memory and rehearse with a combination of words and notation designed to introduce the younger singers to the skills required to read music. The Junior Singers also sing in up to three part harmony and learn rhythm from an assortment of aural and written techniques.
Throughout their time in these county groups our young singers are musically guided and educated in the art of choral singing and general musicianship, providing an ideal springboard to the more senior choirs, Kent Youth Choir.
Conductors
The choir is led by choral and vocal specialists who also teach music and singing in the county’s schools and Kent Music Centres.
