Join us!
If you are interested in joining the choir then please get in touch.
To arrange a trial session please contact mkyc.chair@hotmail.co.uk.
We meet every Tuesday evening (term-time only) from 5:45pm-7:25pm (juniors to 7:00pm, seniors to 7:25pm) at Stantonbury Campus, Milton Keynes, MK14 6BN.
Once they reach Year 10, singers are invited to join our senior group (the MK Youth Chorale), where they can learn more challenging arrangements and perform in small groups or as soloists.
Free trial session
The usual process is as follows:
-
Come along for a FREE trial rehearsal to see if you think you would enjoy being a member. During the break in this rehearsal, Craig will listen to your voice and make sure that you are placed in the right section of the choir.
-
Assuming you enjoy this session come to 3 to 5 more sessions (also free of charge) to establish that you are happy to join and that we think you will be able to cope with the music.
-
Join the choir! At this point you will need to pay subs (currently £32.50 per half term for juniors and £36.50 per half term for seniors – if there are problems with this please discuss with the Chair, as no-one should be prevented from joining by financial constraints) and complete the membership paperwork.
