Foundation Course

A stand-alone course which can replace the first year of judge training in all categories or just be a general educational course. Instead of several Saturdays through the year, this year's course will run over a single weekend, 19-20 July 2008 at the RAC center in Birmingham; please contact Joyce Stroud for more information or to register an interest.

More information will be on the website shortly, please check again later.

Education Days

The E & J Committee provides Education Days throughout the country so that each member has the opportunity to learn about vocal craft and skills.

Coaching

The E & J Committee has instigated a programme whereby every club is offered the opportunity to receive coaching from a knowledgeable coach within LABBS. Every club and quartet can also approach coaches or music, presentation and singing judges and willing trainees on the LABBS coaching programme via the Coaching Coordinator for their individual requirements. They're there! Use them! And remember your vouchers!

Voice Box

E & J contribute regularly to the new LABBS magazine, Voice Box. Articles may cover ways to improve as an individual or as a chorus, shed light on what the Judges look for in competition or how to choose songs for competition. Look out for your next copy!

Educational Material

Visit the E & J Resources page for various materials including the latest version of the Contest and Judging Rules and Handbook.
