City Academy Amplified - Taster

City Academy Amplified are our Pop and Indie choir, set up to encourage those who love contemporary music to come together and sing in a fun and friendly environment.

Headed by tutor Liam Connery, members of City Academy Amplified receive expert guidance in a nurturing and supportive atmosphere. It’s a fantastic opportunity to improve your singing skills at the same time as making new friends and having a good time.

If you’re interested in joining Amplified, you must attend a Taster class. During the taster, you will attend a regular rehearsal and meet the rest of the group. The MD will also take the opportunity to hear you sing as well as assess your suitability for the group. Following the taster, our team will inform you via email if you have been accepted. The purpose of the session is so that you can meet the Musical Director, as well as get an idea of what membership entails and the level of singing involved.

Membership also provides the opportunity to perform at a number of events throughout the year. This includes the choir’s own dedicated concerts as well as performing as guests at some of City Academy’s other events.

WHO CAN JOIN?

City Academy Amplified is a mixed singing group. The choir is open to all genders with any voice type who have at least some previous group singing experience. The choir is not suitable for absolute beginners.

If you do not have the experience required, we recommend you complete a Beginners Singing and Level 2 Singing course before progressing to the choir.

We are always looking for new members - so if you have a love of performing and are looking to develop your vocal technique, please contact info@city-academy.com for more information.
