Southbank Centre Youth Voices
Are you aged 10 – 18 and curious about singing? Join Southbank Centre Youth Voices to discover the joy of singing with Nathan Devonte and Osnat Schmool.
This free opportunity, taking place weekly on Wednesdays in term time, is open to all young people aged 10 – 18, regardless of experience or ability.
No previous musical experience is necessary, just a curiosity to explore your own voice and experience the benefits of singing collaboratively in a group.
You don’t need to audition or know how to read music, but you do get to work with two expert vocal leaders to train and develop your voice. Working with them you can explore different ways of learning and making music, and discover different types of song and music style.
Being part of a choir is a great way to make new friends and meet new people. Group singing is uplifting, can develop confidence and a sense of general wellbeing, and be a great way to feel good and escape from daily pressures and stress.
Once the choir has grown in confidence and gelled as a group, we plan to build in performances and opportunities to develop other skills.
In time, choir members can lead their own vocal warm-ups, choose the final name of the choir and work with the vocal leaders to help pick which songs and musical genres to explore next.
With generous support from the Karlsson Játiva Charitable Foundation
