Jackdaws Songbirds are a friendly, informal choir who meet weekly during term time to sing together in a relaxed environment. There are three groups to suit all! These groups are part of the Jackdaws Music Education Trust.
There are no auditions, and no previous singing or music experience is required. Songs are taught by ear. Our aim is to enjoy singing together in harmony and to explore different types of music: traditional, modern and songs from other countries. We occasionally get all three groups together for informal performances in the local area.
The groups meet in Frome:
Monday Afternoon: 1.30 – 2.45pm at Rise, Whittox Lane, Frome.
You are most welcome to bring your babies, pre-schoolers and toddlers to the Monday session! We sing for an hour, parents and carers are welcome to bring toys for the toddlers to play with. We don’t expect pre-schoolers to be quiet, and we don’t expect full attention from parents! In a typical session, children may play on their own for a bit, require some attention for a bit, and may even listen in now and then. At 2.30pm the toys are cleared away and we sing a few songs with the children.
Tuesday Teatime: 5p– 6.30pm at Trinity Church Hall, Trinity Street, Frome. All ages from 13 years are welcome.
Wednesday Evening: 7.30 – 9.00pm at Selwood Academy, Berkley Road, Frome. All ages from 16 years are welcome.
