Mixed Age Choir Rehearsal Matakana

Get Involved: Weekly Choir Rehearsal

Turning up to this regular choir session means joining a friendly group of singers for an evening of music making in Matakana. Participants warm up together, then work through a variety of pieces ranging from traditional choral works and spirituals to pop songs, jazz standards and contemporary numbers. The focus stays on learning harmonies, refining phrasing and enjoying the sound of voices blending in real time.

The rehearsal runs weekly on Thursday evenings and suits anyone who enjoys group singing, whether experienced or new to choirs. Singers simply arrive ready to participate, follow the conductor's guidance and contribute to the overall sound. No prior commitment beyond showing up is required, making it easy to fit into a regular routine.

• Group vocal warm-ups to prepare voices
• Learning and practising songs across multiple styles
• Working on harmonies and blend with other singers
• Following direction from conductor Jenny Eirena
• Building confidence through repeated group practice
• Finishing with a run-through of the full set
