Essex Training Choir is the training choir for Essex Young Singers.
Whilst singers are not expected to be able to read music when they join
the group they are encouraged to learn to do so and are supported in this
by the conductors, who work to develop both aural and musical literacy
skills in the singers. Those singers who do not play an instrument are encouraged to start to learn one as this will help to develop skills including musical literacy.
ETC sings music from a wide variety of genres, from sacred music to broadway hits. Rehearsals are lively with plenty of vocal games and physical activities.
Since formation in 2006 ETC has received a number of invitations in recent years to sing works from the main choral repertoire with community choirs from Essex:
Harlow Chorus at Leisurezone Harlow
