Treble Rebels sings a wide range of music, mainly in the English Anglican Choral Tradition. Meeting every Wednesday evening in term time, from 6.30pm to 7.45pm, the choir is open to anyone aged 7 to 16 who wants to sing.

What do we do?
The Treble Rebels is attached to St. Michael's & All Angels and sings there regularly. It's also available for weddings and other events, and attends training days with the Royal School of Church Music and even occasionally singing at Cathedrals and Abbeys (our next such event is at Chichester Cathedral on March 29th).

We also have regular social events and trips to places such as Paultons Park and Romsey Rapids.

What does it cost?
The choir is totally free to attend. The costs of trips is kept to a minimum (most about £5 - £10) and parents are advised well in advance.

The choir leaders
The choir leaders are all experienced, and have fully enhanced CRB disclosure police checks.

Our training programme
The choir is a full member of the Royal School of Church Music, and follows its training programme called "A Voice for Life". The children will learn lots about music, and earn various coloured medals as they progress.

What should my children wear?
General : For practices we would ask your child to wear a Treble Rebel polo or sweat shirt. These cost about £11 and are available to order at the practice. If they don't have a sweat shirt it's fine to come in their normal casual clothes. We do partake in musical games, etc., so Sunday best is NOT recommended.

Choir robes : These are used for church services and are supplied by the choir free of charge. We do ask parents to help out by giving them a wash occasionally. Robes are expensive so they must be looked after.

Trips : Treble Rebel sweat shirts or polo shirts must be worn for trips. It helps the helpers to see where everyone is! If your child does not have one please ask a helper as there may be a spare you could borrow.

Where and when do we meet?
Every Wednesday in term time at St. Michael & All Angel's Church, Bassett Avenue, from 6.30 until 7.45pm. Practice starts at 6.30 sharp so be there at least 5 minutes beforehand to get your music ready. If it's your first time at the choir please come at least 10 minutes early to meet Colin and the team. Click here for a map. Parents please come inside to collect your child so that we can ensure that they are going home with the right parents - child swapping is not allowed! Parents are most welcome to stay and watch any choir practice.

By the way, help from parents who stay on a regular basis is greatly appreciated. Please see Colin for more details.

Any questions?
Please contact  the choir director, Colin. He is also available AFTER any choir practice to answer any questions.

Would you like to sing?
We always welcome parents to come on trips with us, but if you would also like to sing, then St. Michael's already has an experienced mixed choir (mainly adult membership). The choir sings regularly at St. Michael's and also tours Cathedrals and Abbeys, especially in the summer. Our most recent trips include Llandaff Cathedral, Romsey Abbey, Bath Abbey and Winchester Cathedral. We are a friendly and sociable group, so we are sure you will feel welcomed. If you would like to join, then speak to Colin. You can find more details here.
