Free CPD Training for Teachers
Free CPD Training for school teachers!
Are you a teacher working in Waltham Forest? London Youth Choirs (LYC) would like to invite you to a FREE, FUN & FRIENDLY training session covering:
- The multiple benefits to students of singing: for their health and wellbeing and educational attainment
- How to set up a school choir and maintain student interest and numbers
- How to build your confidence as a singing leader at your school
Both primary and secondary school teachers are welcome. No experience of choir or workshop leading is necessary. Or if you’re a teacher who is currently running a school choir, come and pick up some handy tips!
LYC has been a leader in choral singing in London for 12 years with over 500 members from nearly every borough in the capital enrolled this year in our 10 choirs, from year 3 up to age 23!
This event is run by London Youth Choirs in partnership with Waltham Forest Music Service.
