"He’s eight and loves singing, but a lot of singing classes are part of a drama school which would involve dancing and acting, which he’s not that keen on. He’s tried them in the past, but nothing quite stuck, so that’s where Kids Chorus was born.

"Singing is great for so many reasons; for kids, it’s fantastic for communication and confidence but there are loads of benefits for your mental wellbeing that can be tapped in to by just having a good sing-song."

During the 40 minute sessions, young singers complete a warm and fun exercises.

"The exercises educate the kids on healthy singing and help them to understand their voices in more detail," Leeanne added.

"They will then learn repertoire which is mostly modern, pop and musicals where we can add in different levels of complexity in parts or harmonies."
