Weekly Choir Rehearsals for All Ages

Why Weekly rehearsal is Worth Attending

Turn up on a Monday evening and join others for a relaxed choir session focused on secular light, popular and folk songs. The group sings mostly in unison, making it straightforward for newcomers and experienced singers alike. A director leads from the piano accordion, guiding the evening through a mix of familiar tunes and new material that suits community performances.

This weekly choir rehearsal runs every Monday evening and welcomes visitors as well as regulars. All ages attend, so the atmosphere mixes different generations sharing the same songs. No auditions are required, and the emphasis stays on enjoying the music together rather than perfect performance.

• Learn and practise unison arrangements of popular and folk songs
• Follow clear direction from an experienced piano accordion leader
• Build confidence singing with others in a supportive setting
• Prepare pieces for occasional local community events
• Meet people across age groups who enjoy group singing
• Enjoy a steady routine of Monday evening music-making

The session suits anyone looking for regular vocal practice without pressure, whether you have sung in choirs before or simply want to try something new.
