For Teachers

Ready to join the YV family?

Come together with thousands of fellow teachers and provide your students with an educational and live performance experience they'll remember for the rest of their lives.

Over the past 25 years, Young Voices has staged full-scale arena concerts with first-class production values nationwide. Over two million children have passed through our doors to sing along with legends like Tony Hadley, Beverley Knight, Joss Stone and dozens of brilliant artists.

Don’t Stop Me Now

YV is a unique mix of educational material for the classroom that is designed to engage and inspire your students, coupled with a live rehearsal and performance experience. We’ll provide you with all the materials and instructions you need to teach your choir so that they can reach their full potential prior to the concert. This includes videos, lyrics, choreographies and teaching tips.

Continued Professional Development

Our world-class Teacher Workshop days are led by David Lawrence, Craig McLeish and Andy Instone. The Teacher Workshops aim to raise the quality of singing in your school by focusing on new teaching methods and strategies that you can apply in the classroom to improve the development of music in your school. Teacher Workshops help boost teachers’ confidence and are a great opportunity to network with other colleagues as part of your continued professional development.

'An amazing day! I came away energised and motivated. Can't wait to implement and share new ideas with both children and staff!'

Bristol Teacher Workshop 2020

Our Teacher Community will open the doors to thousands of colleagues to collaborate, bounce ideas, share experiences, make friends and become even better at what you do.

Above all, we’ll help you supercharge your children’s experience through the entire year, until we all arrive on the concert day where you’ll sing together with our very special guest artists in front of a full capacity arena of family and friends.

  • Choir Check-In keyboard_arrow_up keyboard_arrow_down

    Choir Check-in must be completed in the Teacher Centre

    At Choir Check-in we ask you to confirm:

    • That your school still intends to attend your allotted concert
    • How many children are in your choir
    • How many adults are accompanying your children
    • Any other special requests YV (for example, choir members who need a wheelchair space or need extra support. Medical confirmation may be requested)

    By confirming your attendance and numbers at this stage you make it possible for us to:

    • Confirm any spaces for schools on the waiting list
    • Place the choirs in the arena
    • Process school ticket orders in the best way possible for parents to see their children


    We use your choir numbers to seat the choirs in the arena so it’s important that you give us the most accurate number of children and adults that you can. If your numbers change after this date it is important that you let us know straight away.


    Young Voices works on a ratio of 1 adult per 10 children. Should you wish to bring any extra adults above the YV 1:10 ratio, there will be an additional charge (£25). However, if you are able to submit evidence of a SEN statemented child that needs additional support (free carer), please use the options available on the Teacher Centre (from September).
