Choir Section

The Choir section celebrated its 10th Anniversary in September 2023. The section enters its 12th year and has grown from ten dedicated Members in 2013 to now forty-five active Members. We are an inclusive, non-audition Adult Choir that welcomes individual who wishes to dedicate time and effort to sing, listen and harmonise with each other.

Our section engages Kodaly Academy Music of Singapore. Founding Director, Mr. Albert Tay, has been instrumental for our growth over these 10 years. Senior Conductor, Mr. Leslie Tay was part of this lovely journey. Ms Wynne Lee, the Associate Arts Director and Flora Yee are the lovely additions to strengthen our Choral Singing and Musicianship.

We sing in two or three parts harmony – Soprano/Tenor, Mezzo Soprano and Alto voices. Members can sing and harmonise up to five parts Sop1 (Descant), Sop 2, Alto 1 and Alto 2 in a more complex arrangement. While joining hands with Scholar Cantorum, members can sing in 8 vocal sub positions environment. 

We have mandates to perform for the Club and engage communities yearly. Performances typically include New Member’s Night, Choir Anniversary Evening, Annual Tree Lighting, Old Folk’s Home and Selected Public Charity Events. Members enjoy performing at leading venues like School Of The Arts (SOTA) and Esplanade Hall etc. These provide Choral Members excellent opportunities to polish our singing. Come explore choral singing journey with us!

Tanglin Club Junior Choir (TCJC) is a non-auditioning choir for children aged between 6 to 16 years old. Our current sub-section includes children aged 5 to 12 years old, so we may consider younger age groups on an individual basis.

Our choir follows Kodaly’s concept of music education which is based on the following components:

• Singing
• Solfege
• Hand Signs
• Rhythm Syllables
• Sequential Learning
• Literacy
• Experiential Learning

TCJC is also an inter-generational choir, where parents or grandparents are welcome to participate in any performances or choir practices.

The main objective of the Junior Choir is to create a safe environment for children to explore their musical talents. We also aim to positively influence on children’s language, cognitive, emotional, physical and creative skills. We believe that singing in groups at a young age helps children develop social skills such as communication and teamwork.

TCJC is led by Ms Wynne Lee, our main conductor, she will be assisted by Ms Ho Lian-Ian.
