The Prelude Choir offers young people who love to sing, a unique opportunity to learn a wide range of music and learn about healthy vocal technique. Specifically, the choir offers Kodály-based singing and musicianship for a well-rounded music education that is fun and engaging. This training component follows a development curriculum, pioneered by the great Hungarian music educator Zoltan Kodály (1882-1967) and is proven to advance students’ musical learning through authentic musical experiences.

Typically, Prelude choristers range from Year 2 to upper primary level and graduate to the Cantore Choir after a certain level of musicianship has been demonstrated, where they progress to more advanced musicianship training.

In previous years, the Prelude Choir has performed at the Junior Kodály Choral Festival in Melbourne, local fetes and fundraisers, Music in the Botanic Gardens, Carols by Candlelight and with the Geelong Philharmonic.

There are no auditions to enter the Prelude Choir.
