We believe that one-to-one tuition is crucial for the full development and confidence of young musicians. We are proud to provide individual singing, organ, piano and accordion lessons and strive to make tuition accessible at the point of need and have bursary options available for cases of financial hardship.

We are grateful to the Liz and Terry Bramall Foundation, Wade’s Charity and a number of other trusts that provide bursaries so that all talented children are able to receive lessons, irrespective of their financial circumstances.

‘We are so grateful for the additional support the Music Department has given to our son. He has never had singing lessons before and the difference these have made on his confidence is huge! He is now starting to take choir more seriously and would love to eventually be in the scholars’ choir.’

Choir Parent

Being part of the Cathedral Choir and Keyboard Studies Programme means a lot to me, and over the past three years I’ve gained a lot from being involved with them. I built up confidence in the recent conducting workshop, and I’ve been able to work better as part of a team with others. Most importantly I’ve been able to learn a new instrument through my organ lessons. Since primary school I have really enjoyed making music – the Keyboard Studies Programme has made me able to go further with music.’

The Choirs of Leeds CathedralIt is our privilege to provide music at Leeds Cathedral, something we wish to share with as many local Catholic children as possible. We run 7 free choirs at the Cathedral, all singing regularly for Masses, Vespers or other Liturgies.Cathedral Children's Choir- our smallest singers aged 5-8 learn about music and faith in a fun and engaging way with regular opportunities to sing for Liturgy and be inspired by the older choristers.Cathedral Junior Boys and Junior Girls Choirs- children aged 7-11 can join our Junior choirs. Despite their young age they frequently take on responsibility for singing Mass as well as joining their older counterparts for joint events. (picture from their trip to Liverpool)Cathedral Senior Girls Choir- girls aged 10-18 sing with the Senior Girls Choir, singing multiple liturgies each week and taking a leading role in many concerts and broadcasts.Cathedral Senior Boys Choir- from age 8 until voice change boys sing treble with the Senior Boys Choir. We're particularly fortunate to have a thriving boys choir who sing several services a week and lead concerts and broadcasts alongside the Senior Girls.Schools Scholars- in contrast to many Cathedral choirs, our boys' choral journey doesn't end at voice change. All boys are encouraged to keep singing with the Schools Scholars, who provide the lower voices in our mixed choirs.Choral Scholars- a small core group of university aged singers who offer musical support to the choirs as well as getting opportunities to develop and singers and choral leaders themselves.If you would like more information on joining the choir please email: office@dioceseofleedsmusic.org.uk ...
