Blue Mountains Youth Choir

Blue Mountains Youth Choir Blue Mountains Youth Choir, under the auspices of Academy Singers, aims to inspire and educate childr Fees for Term 1: $100 for a ten-week term.

Established in 2007, Blue Mountains Youth Choir caters for lovers of singing from the age of eight to fifteen years. The choir aims to provide a thorough music education to members, teaching, in addition to singing and choral technique, the ability to read music notation. A unique aspect of our choir is its accent on new work; children are regularly encouraged to create their own soundscapes and c

ompositions and Mountains composers will be showcased at concerts. During the coming year the choir will enter a new phase in providing opportunities for young singers. Recently appointed Director Sarah Mann will share tutoring with Catriona McKay to provide both a second location and an additional creative engine in extending singers' boundaries. The choir will rehearse from 3.45pm during school terms in two Mountains venues: Springwood Frazer Memorial Church hall and Katoomba Community Centre. These two chapters will combine regularly and in 2016 the combined choir will run a program of events, encompassing masterclasses with leading composers, choral and instrumental groups, and attendance at our local Festivals - Winter Magic, Springwood Foundation Day and Blackheath Choir Festival. Fees will be adjusted for Public Holidays and sibling discounts will apply. Applications open 1st December 2015. Apply online, or contact us at [email protected] to have an application form posted to you. Fees will be payable only after a place in the choir has been confirmed.
