Training Programme: SING!

Learn what choir work is all about!

Over the course of three days, vocal coaches, choir directors, primary school teachers, early years educators, and other interested participants can explore and try out methods and exercises designed to make children’s choir work at primary schools lively, motivating, and musically inspiring.

The programme covers the fundamentals of building a children’s choir, developing a suitable repertoire, and fostering vocal development. Participants will discover how to engage children with varying musical backgrounds in joyful and inclusive singing, while nurturing each child’s individual potential.

During the training, participants will also gain insight into the SING! education programme run by the Rundfunkchor Berlin. Each session has a practical focus and a specific theme, and the individual workshops are self-contained – allowing participants to attend them independently.
