Foundation Course

A 4 day programme of learning for LABBS and BABS members



Course Outline

Have you ever wondered what the three scoring categories – Musicality, Performance and Singing are all about?  Do you want to know more about how you can help your group make progress? This is the course is for you if you want to...
  • Gain an in-depth understanding of the three scoring categories.
  • Learn what each category is looking for in a performance and how they arrive at their score.
  • Discover how the three categories overlap. 
  • Learn tips and tricks you can take back to your group. 
  • Learn some skills of ‘evaluation and recommendation’ to help your group make progress.

Who is the course for?

The course is open to all LABBS or BABS members – but would be of particular interest to quartet singers, section leaders, music team members, directors, coaches, and anyone considering applying to the judge training programme. (see below).

Are you thinking of applying to the judging programme in BABS or LABBS?

Our new joint recruitment and training programme is now established.  It is expected that anyone accepted into the training programme will have already completed the Foundation Course.  If they have not had the opportunity to attend the course prior to application, they must attend a course at some point during their training.
