The last of three Choral Music Experience-accredited Choral Teacher Training sessions took place at Sarah Bonnell School in the London Borough of Newham earlier this month. Hosted by Living Song and delivered by Mandy Miller, the sessions brought together 50 young people from Primary and Secondary schools across the borough to act as a model choir with whom teachers were able to practise their conducting. Eighteen teachers have received Choral Music Experience (CME) accreditation, and the choir will meet regularly to build its identity and repertoire, ready to participate in JUBILATION!
