    East Riding Signing Choir - Opportunity to join!

    Please read the letter below from the School Music Service regarding the Signing Choir - Application Form is attached and paper copies available in school if required.:

    This group was set up in January 2024 to provide young people residing in the East Riding
    of Yorkshire with the opportunity to sing and sign together in an inclusive ensemble. To be a
    member of the choir you should be under 19 years of age, in full-time education.

    The rehearsals take place on approximately 4/5 Saturday afternoons from 13:00 to 15:00 at
    the Hexagon Music Centre, Coltman Avenue, Beverley. There are various performance
    opportunities throughout the east riding during the school year.

    To help offset costs there is a subscription fee currently £40.00 for membership of the choir,
    which will be collected each term, and a remission policy is in place for cases of hardship. If
    you wish to apply for remission please write in confidence to Mr P Walker at the above
    address. You will be sent an invoice for the ensemble subscriptions at the appropriate time.
    Membership is also on the understanding that your parents organise your travel
    arrangements to and from the rehearsals and the concerts.
    As I am sure you will realise being a member of the East Riding Signing Choir implies a
    commitment to practise the music, regularly attend rehearsals and attend all concerts. In the
    event that it is not possible to attend a particular concert we ask that you give us a terms
    notice in writing so that appropriate arrangements can be made.
    I hope that you will be excited by the thought of joining this group and look forward to
    receiving your application form.

    Mr P Walker
    Deputy Head of Schools’ Music Service
