Learning & Engagement


National Youth Choir works with young people and teachers across the country through schools projects and in partnership with a variety of Music Hubs. Run by experienced National Youth Choir Vocal Leaders and supported by National Youth Choir Fellows, our workshops empower young people through singing. 

Our workshops are:  

  • Accessible & inclusive for all  

  • Fun & energetic with a wide range of repertoire  

  • Led by high-quality vocal leaders  

It is important to us that our workshops have as few barriers as possible to taking part, and so all songs are taught by ear, with no need for specialised equipment or knowledge of music reading.
