Speen Parish Hall, Speen Lane, Hall, Speen, Newbury RG14 1RJ

Sing The World is a Newbury-based a capella community choir, which has been running successfully now using Natural Voice principles since 2011. We foster a relaxed and friendly approach to a capella singing for pleasure. The choir is fully inclusive, and no previous experience is required. Songs are mostly learnt by ear, and so you don’t need to be able to read sheet music to join us, and there are no auditions – complete beginners and experienced singers are equally welcome. I aim to make our sessions uplifting, energising and inspiring – just come along and enjoy the harmonies! Occasionally some of us perform but if that is not your thing then no worries!

The cost is £48 for the 6 session term.

New members are very welcome.

Monday evenings 7.30 - 9.30pm twice a month

The Pavilion, Homestead Road, Graylingwell Park, Chichester PO196DA

This group is entitled ‘Sing to Feel Good’ and is aimed at anyone who wants to do just that! It will be gentle, inclusive and encouraging. We will be exploring ways of allowing our voice to expand and be ‘freed up’. Through simple melodies and harmonies we will engage with one another in song.

Wednesday afternoons during term time, between 2.45 and 4pm.

Across Norfolk

Sing Your Heart Out provides free singing workshops for mental wellbeing.

[The following text is taken from the SYHO website]

Our workshop sessions are led by professional singing tutors. We aren’t a choir and we don’t put on performances. We simply enjoy singing together, and we understand that sometimes not everybody feels well, and we accept and support people.

Our sessions aim to help people in all sorts of ways, SYHO participants have said they feel that it has improved their confidence, reduced stress and given a space where others understand how you feel. Sometimes a person may not feel like singing and that’s okay.

We welcome anyone over 18 who is experiencing or has experienced mental health difficulties, to offer a strong space of understanding and a sense of togetherness through singing. We welcome carers, family, friends, any support workers, staff and indeed anyone who wants to support their mental wellbeing (or simply likes to sing!)

SYHO is free to take part, though we welcome donations if you can afford it.

Sessions run Monday to Thursday across Norfolk. See website for full details
