Bradford Music Education Hub is proud to announce workshops for the brand new Bradford Youth Choir!

We believe that everyone can sing and that everyone should! If you’re in Years 7 – 13 and looking to improve your shower singing or blow the crowd away at the next karaoke night, we can help!

The Bradford Youth Choir is able to provide the best vocal training to improve your confidence, no matter your ability or ambition. 

We will sing a wide range of songs, from Pop and Rock to Musicals and beyond. There will be regular performance opportunities including annual Christmas and summer shows, in addition to local performances and festivals.

There’s no audition or other requirements to join our workshops; simply come along and see how much fun you can have! You can build your confidence, experience new opportunities and make new friends for life.

But don’t just take our word for it, sign up for 2 free taster sessions. We think it’s time you made some noise.

The workshops will take place online from 5pm – 6pm on 18 and 25November 2020
