Leadership resources

Home Free choir resourcesLeadership resources

We’ll tell you about new resources we add here in the newsletter. Sign up below!

Ali Burns has revised and updated some of the resources that she and Christine Kydd created for the Choir Leader’s Training Manual, and we hope that newer singing leaders will find these useful.

1. Admin & Planning for a new group or workshop

2. Hierarchy of Needs for a singing workshop or group development

3. Choosing a venue

4. Musical Planning & Reflective Practice


Leadership resources on other websites

Leading dementia inclusive singing, on the Luminate website: Jo Miller, a skilled community musician who was new to working in dementia inclusive settings shares her reflections on setting up a new singing group for people living with dementia.

Find a music teacher on the Association of Teachers of Singing website: aotos.org.uk/directory


Please give us feedback on any resources you find on this site – if you could add to them or notice anything that could be better or presented in a different way, for example, we’d love them to be living documents that continue to evolve and develop as the project progresses. Email us.
