The Cabildo Insular has opened a new enrolment period for the 2019/2020 course of Escuela Coral de Tenerife. You can enrol until 25 September here via the website www.tenerifeartesescénicas.com. Classes are due to start on 8 October at the Auditorio de Tenerife.

The groups will be divided by age in order to include all the sectors of the community wishing to join choral singing: children’s choir, from 8 to 11 year-olds; pre-junior, from aged 12 to 15; young, from 16 to 26 year-olds; and the adult choir from 27 years of age on.  There is no enrolment fee and all the teaching resources, and the classes are free of charge.

This training is adapted to the needs of each age group and it includes choral singing, musical language, voice technique, body language and staging. With a hands-on methodology, the Escuela features teachers specialising in singing, body percussion, expression and interpretation. It can thus provide comprehensive training, guaranteeing students’ progress in their choral technique execution.

Working professionals such as the composer, organist and director Josu Elberdin; the teacher and choral singing director Basilio Astulez; the singer, author, composer and performer Vanina Fernández; plus the director and composer specialising in interpretation Pedro Teixeira, have all shared their knowledge with the students in special sessions.

Some two hundred and fifty people have already taken part in the different choirs of the Escuela Coral in its first two years, a fact that makes the project stronger and clearly shows the interest Tenerife people have in choral training.
