2017 Autumn term blogs

The junior choir is really fun and I would recommend it. I enjoy going to it every Monday.

The Love Music Junior Choir is on a Monday after school and I find it really motivating and fun. The director, Stephen, is really positive and friendly with us and helps us and supports us if we are struggling. You don’t need to audition to enter, just turn up with a water bottle and your voices!

You get to learn famous songs and how to sing them. It is always great fun. Our helpers are really organised and tell us where to go.

I enjoyed:

~ learning a Gaelic song

~ doing the Star Wars warm up

~ singing Ed Sheeran and Bill Withers

~ and just being in a group and making new friends

The choir is really fun and if you could I would recommend joining. It’s a Monday straight after school.

Very funny and good fun and educational and excellent. My favourite song is Sing Song Kitty!!!!

So I am going to tell you what it’s like in a choir. It is so fun, but when there is going to be a concert you have to concentrate. So if you want to be part of the Junior Choir just come in.

If you are interested in knowing more about the Usher Hall junior choir here are some tips.

If you come to the Usher Hall you get a little songbook with a lot of songs. You go to get on the stage and you do a warm up then you start to learn or sing a song or two. You get put into groups, the pink, purple, green, red, blue, yellow and orange.

Monday afternoons are the best afternoons ever so if you can come then great. We hope you can come and have the best afternoons here ever. And a very, very, very fun conductor and helper – the funniest and funnest in the world.

I would say a choir is a lot of people on stage who sing songs. People join a choir because they like to sing and learn new songs. I love to be part of a choir because I feel happy and proud.

It is fantastic because when I went to Love Music Junior Choir I could learn songs and I got lots of friends.

I . LOVE . CHOIR… it’s so amazing + I l-o-v-e choir! It’s basically a place to sing and laugh and HAVE FUN!

Choir is a great place to go after school. It’s another exciting thing in your week. I love how every week we do something different – every different thing is amazing. I’m sure that you would love it. Something is a lot different about this choir that all the others that I’ve ever been to. This choir learns real songs and even Scottish Gaelic. We learn Ed Sheeran and Bill Withers and tongue twisters. I absolutely love choir.

In choir you do lots of fun warming up to get your vocals working properly. There’s a pianist Dave, the composer Stephen, and Darla who usually does the warm up with the us (she’s probably my favourite).

Everyone is in different groups but I’m in the purple group. It’s really fun and is a place where you don’t need to worry about school or homework. It’s a place where you can do the thing that you love – SING!!!

Your other friends can join and you can have the time of your life!!

I love this choir!!!

Hi, my name is Jamie, and I am going to tell you how I think about the Junior Choir. When I come into the Usher Hall I am always impressed by how organised they are. They are always prepared when we come in. When we start to get settled into our seats in the choir, we always start with fun warm ups. The teachers are funny, hard working and always positive. The other thing that I like about the choir is that when we have finished a song the teachers like to put the one that we learnt into another song that we learnt. When we sing a song the teacher likes to rehearse 1 sentence for a couple of times so it’s stuck in our head and once it’s in our heads we move on to the next sentence. I really like the Junior Choir. It’s always amazing and fun and energetic.

The first day at Junior Choir was amazing! I got so into it that I kept on singing the songs that I learnt wherever I go. Every single week I say to myself “I can’t wait to go to singing practice”. The one main thing I LOVE about Junior Choir is how I learn the songs so quickly. The singing teacher is really good in the way that he makes the songs go in our heads. The chaperones are amazing and really nice. I hope more people come to Junior Choir.

 

Choir is fun, the song choices are good and the adults are nice to us. It is a warm and welcoming place to be.

On a Monday evening after school we go to the Usher Hall and we get sorted into our groups (red, yellow, green, blue). Then one by one we go to the stage with our songbooks and practice our songs that we will perform in front of a 2,000 seated hall. The songs we are doing are Ed Sheeran What do I know and a Gaelic song mixed with Star Wars and Summer Sun. Yeah it is an hour long and when it’s finished you go home. (P.S. it is really fun and enjoyable!!!!)

Choir is good for making friends and improving your singing. It also allows you to take part in concert etc. It is also just… nice to be in and support.

You learn songs. I enjoy going to choir on a Monday.
