Our work relies on a range of schools, funders and supporters who share our vision. Without the generosity of these people our Programmes would not be possible. All donations received go towards growing our reach to children in the most disadvantaged areas of Yorkshire. We are committed to supporting wellbeing through music and enriching the communities in which we work.
‘Our morning sessions fill the school with beautiful singing that uplift all who hear it. The difference that has been made to the quality of the children’s singing, self-esteem and confidence is immeasurable.’
Headteacher, Leeds
Did you know?
- Singing releases ‘feel good’ endorphins into the brain, reducing stress levels and increasing a child’s confidence and self-esteem.
- Singing as part of a group builds a sense of community and belonging.
- Singing aids verbal and cognitive development, especially in children with Special Educational Needs.
Our Director of the Schools Singing Programme @thomas_leech writes for @ISM_music on our work during lockdown and the absolute necessity to fight for opportunity and equality in choral music - hugely under threat at the moment.

My voice is changing right now so I’m in this range where I can sing quite high or low, so I can either sing treble or tenor right now! When I sing it gives me more confidence in school and everywhere. The whole choir feels like a community and you get to meet lots of new people as well. My favourite pieces are some of the Glorias, I also like singing in other languages. 13 years old, Leeds Cathedral Senior Boys Choir
Merry Christmas! Tune in now to hear the fantastic Bradford Catholic Youth Choir sing Mass on BBC One!

I feel happy because it just lets all your emotions out. I like singing. My favourite thing about choir is singing, and I’m really excited for the BBC broadcast. We’ve been rehearsing for it since September, since we came back from the holidays. If you feel nervous about singing imagine it’s only you in the room and you’re singing to yourself. When I joined I was really nervous, but my sister was in the choir (she’s in Seniors now) and she helped me to sing. 10 years old, Bradford Junior Choir
An excellent BBC rehearsal this afternoon for Bradford Catholic Youth Choir...tune in tomorrow at 10am!
