Everyone can sing! Music makes us happy, and singing is the most accessible form of making music.
Coffs Con is proud to present our choral ensembles – designed to make you feel good!
Minitones and Microtones have joined to form the newly named Juniortones!
Singing is fun, and children benefit enormously from the chance to meet new friends, improve their musical ability and boost their self-esteem and confidence.
Vocal teacher Sara Battery directs the choir.
- The Juniortones is for children aged 6 – 16
- Rehearsals take place weekly on Wednesdays 4-5pm in the Con’s Performance Space.
The choirs perform at the Con and other venues through the year.

What are the benefits of being in a choir?
Making music exercises the brain as well as the body, but singing is particularly good for improving breathing and posture, and reducing muscle tension. There is also evidence that music helps to sustain a healthy immune system by reducing stress hormones.
