Trinity Rooms, Field Road, Stroud

A friendly, almost entirely female choir meeting weekly for singing and fun

Wednesday evenings, 7.30-9pm

The Old Schoolhouse, Hertford Street, Cowley, OX4 3AJ

Whether you’re an experienced singer, a little rusty, lapsed from formal choirs or looking to learn something new for a hobby and activity, singing ticks all the well-being boxes and helps create a sense of community.

All songs will be taught clearly by ear in a non-judgemental way. A friendly and inclusive group. Come ready to learn and laugh whilst making music together!

Repertoire:

Starting with breathing exercises, vocal warm-ups, fun games and ditties, this will lead on to simple chants and short songs and rounds, followed by unaccompanied songs from oral traditions in 2- or 3-part harmony. There might be groovy gospel, folky fun, wonderful world music and sing-a-long sillies, plus special pieces tailored for non-performing mixed ability choirs.

Whilst it’s great to build skills , many songs will be achievable in a single session, whilst others will need longer to learn and remember. Something for everyone.

All songs will be taught clearly in acapella. There are no stipulations. You do not need to read music.

This friendly and inclusive choir promises to enhance your week. Just walking through the door is your audition!

Pay-what-you-like between £5 and £8 by card on the door.

New term begins January 10th 2024.
