What happens at NYCoS Angus Choir?

In the first year, Junior Choir meets for 1 hour every Thursday during term time, where they learn and sing together. In years after, this increases to a 2.5 – 3 hour rehearsal per week.

But being part of a NYCoS Area Choir isn’t just about singing in a group; our unique musicianship programme helps to develop skills such as learning to read music, pitching, rhythm, sound production, solo singing and simple theory.

There are concerts for family and friends twice a year, where choir members showcase all they have learned.

NYCoS Angus Choir meets for weekly rehearsals at Forfar Academy. You can find us on a map here.

History of NYCoS Angus Choir
The NYCoS Angus Choir began in 2010 with support from Angus Council. It was the 13th NYCoS Area Choir in a growing network across Scotland.

How much does a membership cost?
The annual membership for Junior Choir is £140 – less than £4.5 per week. If cost is an issue, don’t be put off as, thanks to our supporters, financial assistance is available.

How to join
NYCoS Angus Choir recruits annually from Primary 3 and Primary 4 in the Angus area.

Our free half-hour workshops are a fun and informal way to try out singing and games with others (where possible, with children from the same school). Our staff will then assess each singer’s potential for membership to the choir.

You can sign up for a free workshop online.
