Building Men Through Music and Meaning
At the Birmingham Boys Choir, we believe that music is just the beginning. Alongside music literacy and vocal training, our choristers are taught a set of foundational life principles—truths that shape not only how they sing, but how they live. These lessons are repeated, reinforced, and lived out in every rehearsal and performance. They’re not just catchy phrases—they’re guiding values that stay with our boys for life.
Life Lesson #1
Only the truly disciplined man is free.
Life Lesson #2
If it’s not yours, don’t touch it!
Life Lesson #3
Always make sure your wife and your girlfriend are the same person!
Life Lesson #4
Do the right thing at the right time!
Life Lesson #5
It’s nice to be good looking, but it’s better to be smart!
Life Lesson #6
Absolutes, like right angles and character, DO matter!
Life Lesson #7
You can choose your actions, you cannot choose your consequences.
Life Lesson #8
Properly prepare to peak at performance!
Life Lesson #9
Think first, THEN sing (or speak or act)!
Life Lesson #10
Assume your responsibilities and accept your limitations.
Life Lesson #11
Just because you CAN doesn’t always mean you SHOULD.
Life Lesson #12
Every day, find a way to help someone, hug someone, thank someone.
