AOIC Sight-Singing Courses
A key element of our 2010 Education Programme, the AOIC Sight-singing Course is designed to meet the needs of amateur choir singers who wish to learn how to read music or to improve their basic reading skills. Under the guidance of Bernie Sherlock [Artistic Director, AOIC Education Programmes], experienced tutors will allow you to develop your music reading ability, giving you the skills and confidence you require for choir rehearsals.
