We also hold choral classes, and you can find the syllabus for those here.
Note: some classes are defined as ‘18 years and under’ and ‘18 years and over. This reflects that performers age 18 might include those still at school/college and who would therefore like to perform with those in their own age groups, and those who have left school/college. Performers are encouraged to enter whichever class they feel the most comfortable with.
