Kids’ Choir is an inspirational music education project developed and run by the Mayor’s Thames Festival. Over a seven-month period, the festival works with music teachers and children from primary schools all over London to develop a mass choir of 750 voices. This choir then performs in front of Tower Bridge to thousands of people at the Mayor’s Thames Festival.

Kids’ Choir is all about introducing primary school children to the joys of singing. Learning the international repertoire of songs, and singing and performing in a group also helps the children to develop broader key skills such as self-confidence, team-work and an understanding of other cultures.

We work in schools where children often don’t have the opportunity to learn a musical instrument, and whose access to music may be limited. A key aim of Kids’ Choir is to develop and strengthen the teaching of singing in primary schools, and the project leaves a real legacy by boosting the key skills and confidence of music teachers, thereby increasing musical opportunities for pupils in future years.
