Ready, Steady, Sing: Bookbug singing confidence booster sessions

Families love to hear you sharing songs and rhymes, but many of us are out of the habit after the pandemic. Ready, Steady, Sing sessions will help you rebuild your confidence, refresh your content, and reignite your passion for singing.

Developed in collaboration with the National Youth Choir of Scotland, this lively and enjoyable two and a half hour workshop will:

• Lead you through a range of familiar and new nursery songs
• Explore techniques to help you feel calm and confident when leading singing
• Give you time to informally discuss other aspects of leading Bookbug sessions with the trainers and other participants

Please note: No solo singing required!

• Have previously completed Bookbug Session Leader or Bookbug for the Home training
• Be affiliated with an organisation, either as a staff member or volunteer, which will support the applicant to use Bookbug
