The Growing Singers

A friendly, mixed, fundraising choir, sharing their LOVE of singing.

For all comers wanting to be part of a performing community choir using singing in positive ways to change their local and wider world for the better

If a choir sounds too much and you’re looking for something that’s less of a commitment then find your way to the Drop In Chorus sessions

DO YOU WANT TO:

  • Fill your head with a repertoire of gorgeous songs?
  • Spend some time with a friendly, mixed group of positive people?
  • Work gently towards some singing performances to fundraise for local causes?
  • Share your love of singing with your community?
  • Contribute positively to your local community just by doing one of the things you love – singing more?
  • Develop your singing skills in a supportive environment?

    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.
    • You’ll receive an email weekly outlining what we did along with a link to catch up if you missed that session.
    • You’ll have access to the members’ area of the website with words and song parts for what we’re learning.  Our website materials are exclusive to members and can’t be distributed outside the group. This is vital for copyright and licensing reasons.
    • You’ll experience the challenge of learning a variety of new and old songs from all sorts of singing traditions building a repertoire of those songs with the choir over time.
    • You’ll pay a monthly direct debit of £25 as long as you are a member. We ask for a month’s notice if you have to leave the choir.
