What is Warwickshire Sings?
As we emerge from the impact of the global pandemic and the huge constraints this has had on children’s singing, we are so pleased to tell you about Warwickshire Sings! We are excited to announce that Warwickshire Choristers has been invited to deliver this exciting project with Warwickshire Music.
Warwickshire Sings! aims to raise the profile and quality of children’s singing within and beyond the curriculum and classroom and build the skills and confidence of teachers and teaching assistants to lead and sustain singing in their school for all children.
Warwickshire Sings! has been developed as a fully-funded programme designed to support schools to re-establish singing opportunities for their pupils. We know singing has a hugely positive impact upon children’s emotional and physical well-being, as well as being a key factor in developing their musical knowledge and understanding. But above all else, singing is great FUN!
How will it work?
Each school involved in the programme will receive support from a specialist Vocal Animateur who will work with a group of children and their teacher or teaching assistant for up to 10 weeks in either the autumn or spring term. In each session, working alongside the class teacher or teaching assistant, the Animateur will develop the children’s singing through a range of appropriately selected songs and activities that will lead to a cluster-based singing celebration morning at the end of the term, hosted by one of the participating schools.
By co-delivering the sessions with class teachers and teaching assistants our aim is to build the confidence of these colleagues to enable them to sustain and develop children’s singing beyond the life and scope of the programme. To assist in this aim, our Animateurs will also provide twilight CPD sessions each term that will aim to develop colleagues’ vocal teaching skills as well as their knowledge and understand of singing resources.
In the summer term, each school will receive 4 additional visits on alternate weeks from their Animateur to support the teaching of further repertoire that the children will perform in one of our large scale Warwickshire Sings! events towards the end of the summer term. We hope these events will take place in venues such as Warwick Arts Centre.
Children who take part in the programme will also be invited to join free choirs that we will establish each of the area Music Centres across the county to enable them to develop their singing beyond the classroom. We hope that these choirs will also perform at the summer Warwickshire Sings! events.
