Stromness Academy

One of our music teachers is helping to set up a Youth Choir in Orkney. To help us, we are asking all young interested singers to complete a short anonymous survey and if they wish, to also send a personal message to OMAC, the charity setting up the choir, to tell us why they think it’s a good idea.The links to the survey and the OMAC contact page are on the Orkney Youth Choir Facebook page and we would love to hear from keen singers at the Academy. If your child doesn’t have a facebook account, please forward the links or help them to fill in the survey.
