Email CINchoirscot@bbc.co.uk for more information.

This year's BBC Children in Need will see youngsters from across Scotland coming together to Sing for Pudsey - and BBC Scotland want you to do the same.

Children between the age of 10 and 17 years old are already forming a choir in the lead-up to this year's charity night and will come together at BBC Scotland's Pacific Quay headquarters on Friday 18 November to perform, not only to Scotland, but also as part of a UK choir.

Listen to our sample version of Movin' On Up and the backing track you can sing along to!

BBC Scotland is now asking for people of all ages and all backgrounds to form a choir with colleagues or friends, raise some money with their own performance, and send the footage in. It could then be used on the night and featured in a BBC One Scotland highlights programme on Saturday 19 November.

The BBC Scotland ensemble will form part of a 2500 strong choir where children across the UK will sing simultaneously to back youngsters in London who are currently being taught to sing and have confidence on Gareth Malone's CBBC Show The Big Performance.

This year's BBC Children in Need in Scotland will be presented by Jackie Bird, live from Pacific Quay in Glasgow and Jackie will also present the highlights programme for BBC One Scotland. There will also be a whole host of special programming on BBC Radio Scotland, BBC Alba and Radio Nan Gaidheal - with more details released in the coming weeks.

BBC Scotland's Children's Choir Rehearsal

We had a fantastic weekend with over 100 school children from all over Scotland who came together for the first time to start rehearsals for this years Children in Need night.

BBC Scotland's Children's choir will be hooking up with 15 other centres around the country, as well as Television Centre. Choir tutor Gareth Malone has been schooling a small group of kids as part of a CBBC show "The Big Performance" who will lead a performance of a track called "Keep Holding On" by Avril Lavign from London. They will perform at Television Centre and will be backed by thousands of children in choirs based all over the country ; our choir is part of this sing-along and have been working very hard.

Watch the Children's Choir singing two songs from the rehearsal on the Children in Need highlights programme on BBC One Scotland, Saturday 19 November at 5.40PM.
