Homechoir is a digital choir - a community of singers numbering in the thousands who join Ben England BEM (the internet’s choirmaster) on YouTube at 2pm every Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons and 11am Sundays (UK time) for singing, fun and camaraderie.
Homechoir is a new way of looking at learning music. You don’t need to be able to sing well or at all to take part – the teaching is one-way. You watch and sing along with Ben if you can, and are invited to take part in the live text chat with everyone else around the world. There is a vibrant and friendly social community among the choir.
If you can’t join in live, then you can enjoy the music-making at any time as all our sessions are recorded and available for you to watch when you can, as often as you like.
You don’t need to be able to read music, and where scores are needed, Ben will display them on screen to help you learn. As well as traditional choir and classical pieces, Ben teaches a huge range of other songs including folk, sea shanties, gospel, children’s songs and silly songs.
A former Advanced Skills Music Teacher and Director of Music in an OFSTED Outstanding school, Ben also teaches music theory, history and composing as part of Homechoir’s Deep Dives.
Why not come along and give us a try? We are a very friendly choir with a warm welcome and are open to all.
During the Coronavirus outbreak of 2020, Homechoir (then known as Quarantine Choir) was established by Ben England BEM. Homechoir is a free YouTube channel on which Ben broadcasts a range of free musical and educational programmes, including choir rehearsals, music theory teaching and fun singalong sessions. In October of 2020, Ben (as founder of Homechoir) was awarded the British Empire Medal by Her Majesty The Queen for services to the community during the COVID-19 outbreak.
