There is an enthusiastic choir of adults and children at St. Peter & St. Paul’s Church and members enjoy learning to sing a variety of church music in a friendly, fun and hard working environment. The choir sings at the 10.30 Parish Communion service each Sunday (except the first Sunday of every month) and also sings at weddings and other special services throughout the year.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The choir is affiliated to the Royal School of Church Music (RSCM) and follows their “Voice for Life” training scheme which provides a framework for singers to develop their vocal skills, their musical understanding and their knowledge of the Christian faith. The different levels in the Voice for Life scheme provide training for beginners through to advanced singers and medals and coloured ribbons are awarded as each level is achieved.
