The Voices Foundation, founded in 1993 by Susan Digby (Lady Eatwell) OBE, aims to transform the lives of every primary school child by developing their musicianship skills and thereby their self-esteem, socialisation and emotional intelligence. At the heart of the charity’s work is a dynamic one-year in-school programme, designed to train every classroom teacher at the participating school in its aural/vocal approach, and to give them the confidence to teach music at the same level as other Foundation subjects.
In addition, The Voices Foundation offers professional development courses of varying lengths, designed to give a solid introduction to the methodology behind its approach to curriculum music education; these are run either on an open-access basis, for specialists, teachers and those with an interest in primary age music, or in partnership with Local Authorities for their schools or music service staff.
For the 2008-9 academic year, its one-year programme is running in 87 primary schools across the country; since 1993 it has worked with over 275,000 children and trained more than 7,500 teachers nationwide.
In August 2008, the charity was appointed a Sing Up Flagship for 2008-10, to help Sing Up represent, develop and disseminate best practice in singing with primary aged children.
