Love Music Junior Choir

Love Music Junior Choir is back!

Junior Choir will make a welcome return to Monday afternoons at the Usher Hall from Mon 12th Sept. For children aged 8-12 from across Edinburgh, choir members grow in confidence, sing music from across the world, and have a lot of fun! No experience is needed and there are no auditions – all singers need to bring is enthusiasm! The rehearsals are relaxed, encouraging and educational.

To celebrate the relaunch of Junior Choir, we have commissioned three professional emerging Scottish songwriters to write songs especially for the choir. The choir will rehearse and perform with the artists at the Usher Hall during the year.

Visit juniorchoir.lovemusic.org.uk to find out more and register.

The next face to face Primary Triple P group will run at
