Voice for Life is a training scheme for choral singers. It will help you to discover what
your voice can do, and then strengthen it. It encourages you to learn about music and look at what it means to be a singer and a member of a choir. This is how the scheme works, what it offers you, and how to take part.
Voice for Life is for singers of all abilities from beginner to advanced. There are five levels – White, Light Blue, Dark Blue, Red and Yellow.
There is a Voice for Life singer’s workbook for each level. Voice for Life is arranged into five modules to help you learn a range of different singing skills:
• Module A: Using the voice well helps you to use your body and voice mechanism to sing well.
• Module B: Musical skills and understanding looks at how music works and how to read, write and understand it.
• Module C: Repertoire helps you to discover the background to the music you sing – its story and its style.
• Module D: Belonging to the choir looks at what it means to be part of a choir and how to get the most out of it.
• Module E: Choir in context explores how your choir fits into the world around it – school, church, work or other social group.
The workbooks contain:
• Information, help and advice about each module
• Practice tips, activities, exercises, puzzles and projects
• Music reference information
• A target checklist for each module
• A declaration for the choir trainer to sign when you achieve all the targets and complete the level
‘Singing lies at the heart of worship. Voice for Life has a valuable part to play in giving life and soul to us all as we worship and learn.’
Dr John Rutter, composer and conductor
