At its highest level, it performs major works and has starred at the Edinburgh International Festival, MTV Europe Awards and BBC Proms.
And now, the National Youth Choir of Scotland (NYCoS) is coming to a school hall near you.
Wee Sing is a brand new, free four-week project that aims to introduce Primary three age children to singing through fun musical games.
Taking place on Tuesday evenings from March 7 at Millburn Academy, children will be taught to develop pitching, rhythm and sound production skills.
It is a Youth Music Initiative funded project from NYCoS, Scotland’s national organisation dedicated to encouraging singing for young people aged 0-25.
The choir has toured internationally to Ireland (2000), Sweden (2001), Chicago (2004), Hungary (2007), Germany (2010) and Central Europe (2013).
Lorna Rudden, NYCoS Area Choirs Manager says: “As well as being fun, singing together in a choir has many benefits: gaining a musical education, socialising and making friends, and boosting confidence by performing.”
Wee Sing is completely free. However, spaces are limited so advanced booking is required. To book, visit

or call 0141 287 2943.
The Wee Sing (Inverness) will take place on Tuesdays between 6pm and 7pm.
It is also happening on Lewis.
NYCoS is dedicated to providing high-level singing opportunities for Scotland’s young singers.
It was established in 1996 to provide a national infrastructure for young people, teachers and choir directors to support and develop choral singing in Scotland.
