Interested in forming a Castlemaine Youth Choir?

Tim Watson, who runs the Castlemaine Children’s choir, is keen to hear from interested high school students interested in forming a Castlemaine Youth Choir.

The idea would be the Youth Choir could join in with the children’s choir on larger pieces and learn to sing the more challenging harmony parts. Members of the youth choir would also be supported to make their own decisions about music they want to sing and could even learn to write their own original music for the group.

Castlemaine Children’s Choir has been operating for over two years. It’s for children in grade 3 and above. Any interested high school students are welcome to attend and if there is interest from enough older students a second group could be formed to rehearse separately from the children’s choir.

The children’s choir sings contemporary music and develops pitch and rhythm skills. It occasionally performs at community events and is supported by Castlemaine Community House.

It runs 10:30 – 11:15am Saturday mornings at Continuing Education building, Templeton St, Castlemaine (next to old Fire Station), starting back Saturday October 20th.

The choir will run each Saturday until December 15th. Will not run on 3rd November (long weekend) or Saturday 1st December. The children’s choir has a fee of $60 for 7 weeks (term commitment required)
