What are the Sing Up Awards?

Sing Up Awards are designed to recognise and commend all schools who sing.

Schools assess themselves and their current level of attainment and apply for their award via the Sing Up website.

If they wish to apply for the next award up, then schools set their own goals to meet that criteria.

If your school is ready to apply for Platinum Singing Schools status, you need to get in touch with SoundWave and we will gladly put forward your nomination: Contact sarahw@soundwave.org.uk

Can Sing Cumbria pay for our project?

No, Sing Cumbria is designed to provide training, networking, repertoire and resources. If there is a way in which your project could be assisted through a training package which could be offered beyond your school and community, then please get in touch

What is a vocal leader?

The short answer is anyone who sings with other people and takes the lead.

For example, you might be a parent singing to a child. You could be a teacher with a class. You might be a pupil in the year 2 class who wants to get everyone started. You could be a secondary student wanting to volunteer to teach songs at an after primary school club. You could be a singer who wants to start a community singing group or lead workshops. You might run a community group or workshop activity that sometimes involves bits of singing. Maybe you run a choir with an excellent reputation. Or maybe you have been leading singing all your whole life.

Whatever way you approach vocal leadership, Sing Up Cumbria aims to offer something for you. Something to help celebrate your achievements. Something to help with your professional development. Or something to inspire you with fresh ideas and approaches.
