Summer Singing Week

AGES 8-15 (Y4-6 & Y7-10)
Summer Singing Week | 2026
2026 REGISTRATION NOW OPEN
We are excited to be back for the fifth year of our annual Summer Singing Week!
A course designed for young people who love to sing* which is led by a team of experts in working with young voices and musicians. All children will learn fantastic new songs in different styles and languages alongside other talented and enthusiastic young singers. A carefully planned schedule of fun and engaging classes, workshops and rehearsals means that throughout the week our young singers will develop singing and musicianship skills, learn a wide range of repertoire, play fun musical games and work through inspiring musical activities.
​
We split the course into Juniors (Y4-6) and Seniors (Y7-10), giving the students the opportunity to sing suitable music alongside children their own age as well as bringing the two groups together to perform some repertoire for massed choir.
This course will fill our students with confidence in their voices and new found musical skills which we will then showcase at the end of the week in a concert for family and friends to see.
Only £99 per child for the whole week!

"About two weeks after the end of the course Lizzy marched into the bathroom and informed me we were going to sing a round together. She had never sung a round prior to taking the course. Now months later she still sings her favourites"
