FCMG welcomes new singers from age 4, once they start school, up to age 18.
New members are welcome to join FCMG throughout the year, provided we have space in your singer’s year group. Reception-age children may join the Dots at any point during term. Our Beginner Choir (Years 1 and 2) and Intermediate Choir (Years 3-6) are also not auditioned, and welcome new joiners in the first half of each term. These groups are a great opportunity for young children to discover a passion for choral singing, teaching a sound musical and vocal foundation in a fun, energising environment.
Singers in year 6 and above can audition for our Senior and Chamber Choirs, who sing a range of demanding but very rewarding repertoire under the guidance of our Artistic Director Grace Rossiter, with regular exciting external performance opportunities. Please note, if a singer in Year 6 is not quite ready for the Senior Choir, they will be invited to join the Intermediate Choir for years 3-7 to help develop their confidence before re-auditioning again at a later date.
The children and young people who make up FCMG are drawn from a wide variety of social, economic and cultural backgrounds. There are currently a little over 170 members of FCMG.
If you have a child who might be interested in joining FCMG, please use the contact form below to tell us a little about the singer, their age and musical experience. We will then get in contact with you to arrange a visit, trial session or audition as appropriate and if you have any questions we’d be happy to help.

Parent Volunteers
FCMG is a registered charity. We have no premises of our own, and rehearse in rented space at a North London primary school. Apart from the music staff and a part-time administrative team, the choir is very much dependent on parents who voluntarily take on other aspects of its organisation including chaperoning, running the tuck shop, and assisting with the volunteer run music library. If you would be willing to offer your time to support the work of FCMG then please let us know in your membership form and we will be happy to welcome you to the team!
