We are delighted to celebrate the success of choir members who were successful in recent Royal School of Church Music awards. These achievements reflect a great deal of hard work and study in singing, musicianship and knowledge, and we are very proud of all of them.
The RSCM awards represent a great deal of hard work and study by the candidates, including vocal technique, general musicianship and RE knowledge. These are serious achievements, and we are delighted to celebrate the dedication and success of our singers.

These awards sit within the RSCM’s ‘Voice for Life’ training scheme, which helps singers grow in vocal technique, musicianship, understanding and confidence as part of the life of a church choir. The medals and ribbons mark progress and achievement within the scheme, but they are not simply decorative or given just for long service. The real aim is to encourage the right attitude, developing competence, and a sense of responsibility and service.
That is one of the reasons Voice for Life is such an important part of our choir life. It supports young singers – and singers of any age – in growing not only as musicians, but also as thoughtful and committed members of a choir serving the church and wider community.
Very well done to everyone who took part!
