Final Numbers

Do I include adults in my final choir numbers?

Yes please. There is a space on the form to give us a break down of how many children versus adults you will be brining – keeping in mind that our ratio is 1:10.

My school requires a higher ratio than your 1:10. Is that okay?

Of course. If your required ratio is 1:8 simply enter in the appropriate number of adults you need. If we have any queries we’ll get in touch.

I have a child who needs one on one attention. How do I bring that to your attention?

When you submit your final choir numbers simply include the extra adult in the numbers. There is a place on the form to enter in number of wheelchairs but if the special needs are something other than wheelchairs, just send us an email outlining any special seating requirements.

I will be bringing a child who will need the privacy of a room in order to address her medical needs. Can you accommodate?

Absolutely. If you need something above and beyond what is readily available to the general public please send us an email. We can help arrange anything from a private room to a disabled toilet and even a prayer room.

For a full list of what is available to the general public, check out your arena’s website and their accessibility.

I’m not going to have my final choir numbers by the 30th September. Can I submit them the week after?

No. The deadline for final choir numbers is the 30th September. If we do not receive your final numbers by this date, we will take your approximate as final.

I know it’s past the deadline but I’ve had two children bring back their forms. Can we add them?

No. After the deadline, choir numbers are locked and no further amendments can be made.

  • What's the cost of a concert registration? keyboard_arrow_up keyboard_arrow_down

    Every year YV charges a registration fee (£85 + £2.50 for shipping ) for schools who wish to take part in the YV concert.

    With payment of the registration fee you will receive:

    • Teachers Guide – information, order forms and useful tips
    • Music Pack – full vocals CD, backing tracks CD and a DVD of dance moves
    • Online Teacher Resources – full access
    • Online YV Teacher Community – full access
    • Inclusion in a YV concert – regardless of the size of your choir!

  • Are there any requirements? keyboard_arrow_up keyboard_arrow_down

    Over 150,000 children participate in our concerts each year! As with all exciting things – there is a limit to the number of concerts we hold each year and the number of children that each venue can hold. So that we don’t exceed this capacity we need the help of you, our teachers.

    Upon registration we will ask you for the approximate size of your choir. We understand that this might be far enough in the future that you don’t have a good estimate – new to the school, first time at YV, bringing a new class year, etc. However, if you could make your very best educated guess that will help us have an idea of capacity.

    Any schools that do not submit an approximate choir size will be allocated our average (30 children).

  • 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).

  • What payment methods do you accept? keyboard_arrow_up keyboard_arrow_down

    We accept multiple payment methods including school cheques, BACS payments, and card payments. For full details – check out Payment Methods.

    To confirm your choirs’ place in one of our concerts, the payment of the registration fee must be received and approved. All registrations are subject to availability until payment is received in full.

  • Can you tell me more about the workshops? keyboard_arrow_up keyboard_arrow_down

    The Young Voices Teacher Workshops represent a Continued Professional Development opportunity for teachers who want to improve or maintain the quality of singing in their school as well as teach a number of the skills set by the music national curriculum.
