Singing

All choristers need to ‘get to know’ their own voice with designated one-to-one time in order to understand their vocal range and ensure that they care for their ‘inbuilt musical instrument’ as their bodies develop.

Thanks to the generous support of Trusts and Foundations and individual donors, members of the Cathedral Choirs regularly receive one-to-one professional vocal coaching completely free of charge.

Our singers develop a strong vocal technique that can be put into practice in choir rehearsals, competitions, concerts, broadcasts and recordings as well as music-making at school. Specialist support is given to adolescent boys with changing voices, giving them the confidence and enthusiasm to continue singing through a period of natural transition.

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 ...
