Children’s Choir
for those with learning difficulties
Accord Choir
The children in our choir come from all over Yorkshire to sing with each other. They learn a variety of songs, some with signs or musical activities. Staff are encouraged to sing and sign along too. The choir is invited to participate in concerts around Christmastime and in the summer.
Sing along to choir songs with Jackie, Kate, Sophie and Joanna.
These videos and others were made possible in part by grants from LMEP (Leeds Music Education Partnership).

When enough schools are able to return to choir, the choir will again divide into One Accord, for secondary age+ pupils, and Young Accord for primary age pupils. Schools usually join one rehearsal each month.
Choir rehearsals are held on Tuesday mornings 10:15 to 11:45 at Meanwood Community Centre in Leeds in Autumn term, then will move to Holy Name Parish Hall in Tinshill, Leeds in Spring term.
2024 rehearsals at Holy Name are:
- 27 February
- 26 March
- 23 April

Extra rehearsals and concerts will be added when announced.
Cost: Membership to Leeds choirs is £2.50 per pupil for each rehearsal. Schools are also expected to be corporate members of YAMSEN, which is £30 per year.
