Singing is ideal for uplifting the soul, try our Singing for Health sessions for the over 50's! Contact us for more details. 

Singing for Fun sessions for 4-11 year olds operate in and out of schools throughout Yorkshire during term time, sessions are based on introducing singing and musicianship skills through musical games and song using the Kodály concept. If you would like your child, group or school to be involved, give us a call.

All our work is based on the principles advocated by Zoltan Kodály.

Music is a powerful, unique form of communication that can change the way you feel, think and act. It brings together intellect and feeling and enables personal expression, reflection and emotional development. It also increases self discipline and creativity, aesthetic sensitivity and fulfilment.
