Get ready to sing, laugh, and make some noise! We’re so excited to launch Soundwave Youth Choir – a fun, friendly space where young voices come together to create amazing music. Open to all children, no matter their experience, this is the perfect place to explore singing, grow in confidence, and make new friends along the way.
Each week, choir members will enjoy playful music games, learn to sing in harmony, and work towards exciting performances in the local community. Whether your child is a seasoned performer or just curious to try something new, they’ll be welcomed with open arms.
The choir is launching with two taster sessions for different age ranges:
Juniors (Year 3 to Year 8) on Tuesday 23rd September 2025 (3:45 – 4:30pm)
Infants (Reception to Year 2) on Tuesday 30th September 2025 (3:45 – 4:30pm)
The intention is to then start regular rehearsals on Tuesdays in October. This will either be 2 groups run one after the other each Tuesday, or potentially just one of these groups depending on interest.

The choir is led by Dan Pate, a qualified teacher (QTS) who worked for many years in school settings as a Head of Music, regularly running choirs and leading inspirational performances across the city. He now leads a number of community choirs in Bristol and the surrounding area including Riff Raff, Choirs For Good and more. Dan brings bags of energy, warmth, and a passion for helping every child experience the joy of singing in a supportive and inclusive environment.
