In 2022, we launched our Primary Singing Programme to support schools and young people re-engaging with singing activities after the pandemic.  The Primary Singing Programme offers teachers and vocal leaders the opportunity to come together twice per year to explore music and teaching practice, and provides resources and ongoing support to almost 40 schools.

The Primary Singing Programme is delivered in partnership with Living Song CIC, Music Making SENse and Pegasus Opera, and last year culminated with two singing concerts on 29th March 2023 at The Royal Festival Hall.   

The Primary Singing Programme 2023-24 will be launching soon in mid September.

Sing Lambeth (for secondary schools)

Sing Lambeth programme for secondary schools launched with a ​'Come and Sing' day at The Southbank Centre in November 2022, attended by almost 100 young people.  It was a fun and music-filled day, with one of Head of Music commenting 'every single student has come away with a new found energy towards performing'.  The programme is being delivered in partnership with The Southbank Centre, Living Song CiC and Pegasus Opera.

The second phase of the programme ran between January and June 2023 and included:

• A resource pack including 3/4 flexible choral arrangements with linked scores, guide tracks and backing tracks etc.
• 2 x training and development opportunities for you/your school singing lead  with Osnat Schmool, Nathan Devonte, Randolph Matthews and Jane Wheeler.
• A number of workshops in your school, delivered by experienced vocal leaders connected to our programme (took place between January and June)
• A celebration event for all participating schools and students at the Southbank Centre (Clore Ballroom) held on Friday 30th June 2023, which was attended by over 200 young people and included workshopping and performing the shared repertoire as a massed choir.
