Singing & Vocal Skills CPD

Want to build your skills and confidence with singing in your school? Most recently we ran Singing CPD sessions in North Somerset and BANES in March 2025. Perfect for all primary teachers to develop vocal knowledge and ideas. The sessions were led by choral director and composer Emily Barden, who has worked for Sing Up, Philharmonia Orchestra and Britten Pears Arts, among many others. We will announce – via our website, through our schools music bulletin, and our social media channels, Teach Meet sessions that will take place in the future.
