Children in West Kent can experience the fun and friendship of singing in a choir at free sessions to be held during the summer holidays.

The Summer Singers sessions, aimed at seven to 11-year-olds from the Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells, Maidstone and Sevenoaks areas, offer the experience of working together in a choir and are suitable for children with little or no experience of group singing.

On the final day, the children will give an informal concert for family and friends.

The workshops, all held at Mascalls School in Maidstone Road, Paddock Wood, running from 10am to 12.30pm from Wednesday, August 20 - Friday, August 22.

The final session will be followed by an informal concert in which all attendees can take part, starting at 1pm.

Kent Music chief executive Peter Bolton said: “Learning to sing in a choir is a great way to make friends and have fun and youngsters can show how far they’ve come in a short time with a concert for friends and family on the final day.”

Places on the project are limited and must be reserved in advance.

Parents can book places by emailing summersingers@kent-music.com, calling Penny on 01622 691212 or online at www.kent-music.com
