MUSIC and SINGING
Music is an important aspect of worship and St Chads is proud to have a musical programme that includes a Robed Choir, and an active Worship Band.
Robed Choir We have a 20 member choir of adults and children to aid its Sunday Eucharist services. The church holds onto the robed choir tradition that has declined in the UK over the last 25 years. This committed community of singers meet every Friday (during term time between 7:00 and 8:30 to rehearse anthems and hymns for Sunday services and 'red letter days' such as Holy Week, Easter Sunday and Pentecost.

If you would like any more information on any aspect of music and singing at St Chads, then please do not hesitate to contact our choral director Tony White or come along to practice on a Friday evening 7pm. |
Worship BandAs well as its choir, St Chads is very pleased to house a worship group that facilitates the music at the monthyl 6.30pm Presence Service. The group is always looking to expand and would welcome any new instrumentalists.
Training OpportunitiesYoung musicians are encouraged to take part in the Royal School of Church Music's development programme (Voice for Life) which involves the learning of music theory, singing technique and leadership skills within the choral setup. As reward for each level choristers are presented with ribbons.
The Organ at St Chad's is used mainly during our 9.30 am Sunday Eucharist Service
