As a result of the love they had for Choir music, they felt a need for a school Choir to be established. From the first year of its existence, Choir was trained and prepared for the schools’ eisteddfods by two fellow students. In 1998, they both matriculated. In the following year these students continued with the Choir training and were compensated for their services by the School Governing Body (SGB). In 2001 they were snatched by nearby schools that were willing to pay them better wages and the SGB had to look for other people who could assist with Choir training from the community. This continued until 2004, when the school employed a teacher who studied music at university. In 2009 another teacher, who studied music too, came and volunteered his services at the school. In 2010 the teacher was employed on a temporary basis by the Department of...    less

[A version of this article first appeared as a post on my blog From the Front of the Choir]   Some Choirs and singing groups meet frequently, often once a week, requiring a high level of commitment. Others meet less frequently and work on a dr...

[A version of this article first appeared as a post on my blog From the Front of the Choir]   Certain people are rather dismissive of “Singing for fun” Choirs. If it’s for fun then it can’t possibly be of any quality. ...
