Plymouth Unitarian Church, Notte St, Plymouth, PL1 2HG

Plymouth Community Choir are a small, friendly, Natural Voice choir who have been meeting in Plymouth for over 20 years. We sing music from a wide variety of genres, in 3- and 4- part harmony.

There are no auditions, and everything is taught by ear – you don’t need to be able to read music or be an experienced singer. Each session starts with a solid vocal warm-up with musical exercises to help you build your confidence, and you’ll have access to recordings to help you practise between sessions.

We currently perform twice a year, in the winter and the summer (with the occasional smaller performance here and there). Performing is optional but encouraged. Newcomers are welcome towards the start of terms and later by arrangement.

Mondays 7 - 8.45pm

In your own home, online with Zoom link provided upon registration

In Zoom sessions you’ll be off-mic, able to sing along freely with Patricia, who curates a set of fresh songs with a slant toward presence and wellness. Using live-looping, call-and-response, guitar, piano, and gentle humor, she builds a communal singing experience of 7-10 songs in an hour. Some gather up to 15 minutes before the start for visiting and a bonus song.

All songs are taught by ear, and resources to help you sing them through the week are part of the package. Song lyrics appear in the chat and are also available ahead of time on the private members’ page.

While many people choose to participate on a weekly (or twice-weekly!) basis, this group also welcomes drop-in attendance for those whose schedules don’t allow for regular commitment.

Started in 2005, this is an open access choir with around 60 members. Singers of all ability/experience welcome. I teach the songs by ear; no music reading is required. We sing a wide variety of songs from jazz to pop and folk and songs from around the world. I make recordings of the voice parts for practice in between choir sessions.
