All Saints' Choir is an amateur group but nonetheless manages to maintain high musical standards. We also aim for an active social life. We sing a lot of music on relatively limited rehearsal time, so our members need to be consistently able to attend practices, and to have either good sight-reading skills or reasonable music-reading skills and previous knowledge of some of the church repertoire. We are very supportive in helping new members to come up to speed with our music, and are always interested in hearing from singers who want to give us a try. With such a firm commitment to church music, we place a strong emphasis on introducing children to singing and building them up into talented musicians. Children from the age of 7 upwards are welcome to join the All Saints' Choristers, who sing at least once a month during the morning mass, and join the adults from time to time - the intention being that ultimately they 'graduate' into the adult choir as boys' voices break and girls' voices mature. All Saints' Choristers rehearse every Friday evening between 6.45 and 7.30. All training of young people follows the Royal School of Church Music's 'Voice for Life' scheme, which provides a step-by-step programme to develop choir members and offers recognition for various levels of achievement, including annual awards ceremonies for the Gloucestershire area, typically at the Cathedral.
