We meet the child where they are, and extend from there. The child who is just starting out, or the dedicated student both benefit by being part of a music community. Join us now
- Led by Lanneke Jones, who has over 30 years experience as a singer, teacher, choir director and mentor to countless students and is a passionate advocate of singing and music education.
- We have an opportunity to inspire others by the power of children’s voices. We also bring to the children in our care quality music education, and thus the ability to achieve in other areas through the confidence that music making brings.
As the great music educator, the late Richard Gill OAM stated:
"The power of the creative thought transferred from music to all other areas of learning is potent. The neurological evidence is there. Music is worth teaching for its own sake. It is worth teaching because it is good. It is worth teaching because it is unique, it is worth teaching because it empowers children spectacularly.”
The SING NOW vision builds upon this: being part of a music experience is a fulfilling pursuit.
- It’s enough to create, learn about and take part in music - that is fulfilling in itself.
- Whether one is ‘good’ or ‘talented’ is secondary to this.
- The choral experience should be about participation, belonging, and developing skills in discernment, listening, analysis and mindful reactions to the world around them.
- Creating music oneself is a thrilling experience no matter the level of talent.
- The experience of music education is strong enough in itself
Music is everywhere - learning about music, making music that matters is paramount to the development of the child. When a child is given the opportunity to make, learn and understand music they are inspiring their hearts, their minds, their souls, their spirits and their imagination.
At SING NOW CHOIR we deliver quality music education. All our practitioners are experienced music educators with particular strengths in choral music, singing, composition and children's education. Students will be guided through the processes of learning through listening, singing, analysing and creating musical compositions together.
When children are supported by music, they are empowered to learn how to relate to and lead others by creating an understanding community for all through genuine and purposeful communication.
Our young ones are the leaders of tomorrow, and our vision is to encourage and mentor this.
