About the Choir Schools’ Association

The Choir Schools’ Association provides members with training, networking and opportunities to share best practice to help them offer the best possible experience to the choristers in their care. We hold an annual conference and termly meetings in person or online.

The Choir Schools’ Association is run by a Board of Trustees, the majority of whom are Heads of Choir Schools. They are supported by a small central team who manage the association’s work on a day-to-day basis.
