YAMSEN One Accord Children’s 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.
One Accord choir is a multi-school community choir for pupils KS2 and older who have learning and/or communication disabilities, and for their school staff who sing alongside and support them.
