YV Foundation Teacher Workshops

A day of professional evolution

Book a Teacher Workshop for our 25th Anniversary 2022 season!

You can now book a workshop through your Teacher Centre account!

A professional development course led by:

David Lawrence (our Principal Conductor)

Craig McLeish (our Musical Director)

Andy Instone (our Creative Director)

Our creative team are having fun putting together the content for the day. We know that many of you will have already paid for and watched the online workshops we released last year so we will make sure that the content of this day complements the online workshops.

We will still cover the contents of the music pack for our concerts in 2022 but we hope you’ll agree that the fact these workshops are in-person will mean you will still get loads out of the day. Not to mention the chance to ask questions of the wider YV team and network with other teachers.

Teacher Workshops are £65 per person.

  • 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.
