For When Your Choruster Has Decided Someone Needs Ti Rejoing the One and Try Again

Abstruse

This study aims to highlight the uniqueness of the English choristers' didactics, what special musical skills it passes on to youngsters and how these may aid them in afterwards life. It investigates the perceptions of 30 ex-choristers who attended a broad pick of English choir schools between 1940 and 2010 using semi-structured interviews. The findings showed that music training of choristers forms a solid foundation to enhance the development of an all-round musicianship. In particular, it gives them significant sight-reading skills due to the huge volume of rehearsals and public performances. Although in nearly cases their instrumental skills are not sufficient for them to become professional soloists in their instrument, many ex-choristers found it relatively easy to achieve a music scholarship or pursue a music career if they wanted. Many of them retained a passion for music which was not necessarily limited to choral singing. The findings are considered in relation to the possible reasons for this, and the implications for education.
