FOR EVERY CHILD
Choir is for every child who wants to sing
1
Singing asks children to become physically present. They move, breathe and sing together with shared attention. This alignment can bring our heart rhythms into sync! This connection creates a deep sense of belonging.
2
Children develop awareness as they learn to read the conductors face and gestures, helping them understand and respond to non-verbal cues - developing empathy.
At choir, children can experience the pride and joy of singing beautifully and sharing it with their families.
At choir, children learn essential skills - how to give and take, problem solving, teamwork, embracing diversity, working towards success and releasing stress.
3
Children are challenged to memorise music, to learn choral skills, to perform in concerts - this helps them to develop grit, resilience, and lasting confidence.
4
Singing can also be an emotional release - There’s something wonderfully freeing about singing together with your friends. It releases "feel-good" chemicals in the body, including endorphins, oxytocin and dopamine.
5
We embrace diversity and inclusiveness because music shows us that differences don’t have to divide us, they can bring us together.
WHAT CHILDREN EXPERIENCE
Music that challenges and rewards.
Choir is a craft. We take it seriously - and we make it joyful. Here is what a child can expect when they join Tron Songsters.
Challenging music, taught step by step
We don't simplify the music. We teach it carefully, in layers, so that children can genuinely achieve something they didn't think they could.
Movement, listening and repetition
Music lives in the body as well as the voice. Children learn through movement, active listening and the kind of supported practice that builds real skill.
Different voices working together
A choir is a community of sound. Children discover what it feels like when their voice becomes part of something larger than themselves.
Performance and shared pride
There are opportunities to perform and to experience the particular pride that comes from creating something beautiful together in front of others.
OUR APPROACH
The VOICE Method.
Every rehearsal at Tron Songsters is shaped by a practical framework. It is not a rigid formula - it is a set of values that guide how we teach, how we listen and how we build a choir together.
V
Value every voice
Every child's voice has worth - at whatever stage it is at. We begin from that premise and we return to it in every session.
O
Open through movement
Bodies open before voices do. Movement unlocks breath, rhythm and presence - and it makes the room feel safe enough to sing.
I
Invite connection
Choir is relational. We actively create the conditions for children to feel seen, heard and genuinely part of the group.
C
Cultivate capability
We teach real musical skills - pitch, rhythm, blend, dynamics - with patience and rigour, building capability that children can feel and carry forward.
E
Express together
The goal is always collective expression - music that means something, made by people who made it together.
FROM OUR COMMUNITY
What families say. What we've made together.
Real words from real families. What Tron Songsters has created.

Student testimonial
"I have really liked being a part of Tron Songsters. I have newly joined and it has only been great. It is a lovely heartwarming community, where I felt welcomed from day one. We are having fun together across all levels. It is always a pleasure to show up. When I am having a bad day, I am always leaving with a smile. Definitely worth going."
Mia Svendsen
Parent testimonial
"We've been part of the Tron Songsters since 2021, when my oldest daughter joined at 8, and now all three of our girls are in the choir. We've seen their confidence in singing and performance grow, their musical ability improve, and they've made some great friendships along the way. It's great to see them learning and improving in such a fun, positive and supportive environment. They look forward to choir every week and have had some amazing opportunities through it, including travelling to China to perform. We couldn't recommend Tron Songsters more highly.
