As well as being fun, singing together in a choir has many benefits for children’s development and well-being. These include gaining music education, making friends and boosting confidence through performing. Singing also helps to develop literacy, concentration and memory.
Led by experienced music teachers and choir leaders, NYCOS Regional Choirs meet once a week during term time, where children learn and sing together with others their age.
Entry is usually for singers in P4 every September, but we are always interested to hear from singers aged 8-17 who would like to join our regional choirs.
To book a space or for more information please visit: www.nycos.co.uk
