CHELTENHAM CHILDREN’S CHOIR SINGING IN SPRING

Cheltenham Children’s Choir

(CCC) is is a thriving and dynamic organisation that offers young people a unique and rewarding musical experience. Our inclusive community children’s choir now runs six singing groups, welcoming over 130 members per week ranging in age from five to eighteen. We aim to create a nurturing and inclusive environment that encourages musical growth, creativity, and collaboration. Through our choirs and initiatives, we strive to provide young people with ample opportunity to develop their singing and performance skills while empowering them to become leaders in the music industry.

We are particularly excited to announce the development of our new Young Leaders’ Scheme. This will give young people aged 14 and over the chance to design, create and learn whilst participating in our community choirs, events, performances and band projects. Through these initiatives, they will be encouraged to grow together as Young Leaders whilst collaborating with fellow musicians, leading on the creative delivery of various events, and contributing to the growth and development of CCC.

Our pilot scheme began in September

2022 with seven young people taking part. A highlight of our journey so far was the organisation of a Children’s Choir Talent Show in March this year. Young Leaders designed the event, made important operational decisions and created a fantastic community atmosphere for our whole choir, not to mention some outstanding performances!

Moving forward into the second year of our Young Leaders’ Scheme, Cheltenham Children's Choir is hoping to sustain the scheme by acquiring further funding. This would allow current Young Leaders to build on their progress so far, as well as offering the hope of enabling more young people to benefit from the scheme in the future.

In summary, Cheltenham Children's Choir is a welcoming, safe and dynamic place to be, with the vision of offering all young people a unique and rewarding musical experience. We invite you to explore our website (www.cheltenhamchildrenschoir. co.uk), learn more about our choirs and initiatives and consider joining us on this exciting journey of music, learning, and friendship.
