Youth Choirs
Our Youth Choirs cover everything from contemporary to classical ensemble singing. Participants learn to sing in harmony, whatever the genre and to take part in performances throughout the year. Covid has resulted in a huge reduction in singing activity so we’d encourage all young singers to rekindle their love of singing by joining one of our Youth Choirs at WollCon.

Jazz Vocal Combo
AKA ‘The Hummingbirds’
TIME |
| 1 hour once a week |
STUDENTS |
| 3-8 students |
FEE |
| $283.00 per 9 week term |
TEACHER |
This is WollCon’s premier vocal ensemble performing 3 & 4 part arrangements heavily weighted towards the jazz genre. Members must be able to strongly hold a harmony line on their own, as arrangements often feature a single voice on one part.
Inspired by groups such as The Andrew’s Sisters; The Chordettes; The Puppinni Sisters; Lambert Hendricks and Singers Unlimited, the Hummingbirds is a wonderful opportunity for members to fine tune their blending and sight singing skills; develop a strong swing and jazz sensibility; play with improvisation; develop vocal consistency and confidence, and explore performance aspects such as movement, patter, set programming and vocal balance in amplified settings.
This is an auditioned group.
