We are looking for a reliable and skilled MD/choir leader to take over our mixed community choir of around 20 members to commence in March 2020.

Experience of community music leading and enthusiasm are more important to us than extensive experience of choral conducting. The choir is mainly taught by rote using lyric sheets with backing tracks mainly in unison with some two-part singing and a capella work.  When part-singing it can be melody or harmony sung by choice. Songs are requested by members and/or sourced by the leader.
