Voice for Life the Royal School of Church Music Voice for Life syllabus is also incorporated into rehearsals. This helps singers develop with vocal exercises, posture, breathing and diction; listening skills, music theory and notation.
“St Peter’s junior choir has taught my son to read music and sight sing. It taught him the musical theory that his otherwise wonderful violin teacher didn’t cover. A first rate musical education.” Liz, mum of a chorister.
