Sing for Pleasure was founded in 1964, as the English branch of the international 'A Coeur Joie' movement, and aims to encourage excellence in the enjoyment of choral singing, especially among young people, with that enjoyment leading to higher standards of performance. The movement now runs a large number of events each each year. It plays an increasingly active and important role in offering help and advice to teachers and choir conductors, running inset-training, professional development and school-based singing days, courses for conductors, summer schools, residential weekends and Superweeks for children, as well as many singing events for adults. Many of the courses carry accreditation towards the Diploma and Certificate of Music Education offered by Trinity College of Music, London. Sing for Pleasure is the only choral charity to offer a graded conductor training scheme. The conducting courses are accredited by the ABRSM and Trinity College, London |
