WHAT DO PEOPLE LIKE ABOUT GROWING SINGING?
We asked people what they like about Growing Singing and among their answers was:
“I like the variety of music. It makes me laugh.”
“The camaraderie. Lovely sense of achievement when it all comes together. Helps to leave the stress behind“
“Your good humour! I feel so good at the end of the evening and sing all the way home – very uplifting!“
“I like the really friendly large group. It is a great way of being able to sing with people who make a very good sound when you are a bit self conscious, don’t have a strong voice. I don’t like feeling exposed but love the idea of singing with others“
“The supportive atmosphere, which follows from your positive and encouraging approach. It feels safe to make mistakes“
WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF YOU JOIN THE CHOIR?
- There will be a minimum of 30 meetings a year.
- You’ll be invited to sing at a minimum of 2 community events a year.
