Malvern Children sing with Exeter Choristers Date: 10 July 2004 Members of Exeter Cathedral’s boys’ choir concluded their recent tour of Worcestershire with an exciting visit to Somers Park Primary School, Malvern. The choristers, together with Andrew Millington, their director, spent a morning with 120 children in Years 4 and 5. The boys performed a range of serious and light-hearted music, and demonstrated warm-ups and vocal exercises. A number of them spoke to the children about what life is like as a cathedral chorister. Very few of the Somers Park children had ever heard a cathedral choir before, and were noticeably impressed with the quality of the boys’ singing. After break, everyone had a chance to sing. The choristers joined the children, and, under Andrew’s tutelage, they learned an impressive number and variety of songs, which they performed to the other children in the school during assembly. At the beginning of the workshop, Cathy Dew, Singworks’ Project Manager, asked the young people to put up their hands if they enjoyed singing. A few cautiously raised their hands, but many remained undecided. At the end of the workshop, the children were asked the question once again. Nearly every hand went up – as illustrated in the photograph. Thanks to Exeter’s choristers, Singworks has made a difference to these young people’s enthusiasm for singing!  CONTACT Cathy Dew Email cathy.dew@youngchoirs.net < Back
