If you're even the slightest bit curious about what it might be like to sing with a choir but are a little shy or apprehensive about doing so, then you might want to try going along to a
Rock Choir event for
a free taster session.
They make it easy for absolute beginners and welcome all, young and not-so-young.
Rock Choir, which lays claim to being the UK's most popular contemporary choir set-up, was created in 2005 as a way for people with little or no singing experience to come together for a singalong.
Singing pop, Motown and gospel songs, Rock Choir has developed a learning technique that is both fun and highly effective, entertaining for singers as well as audiences.
Above all, Rock Choir wants its participants to have fun and get the most out of the singing experience. It's a wonderful way to meet new people too.
Being a part of a choir can work wonders for personal development, building confidence and self-belief. And imagine the sense of achievement you'll feel from just taking part.
Don't worry about auditions or being dragged out in front of everyone to do a solo, Shirley Bassey style. It's not going to happen.
Your first visit will have you as part of the choir, to see how you feel being part of the group, singing together. You just need to book a free taster session to find out precisely what it's all about. It's
that simple!
In the London area, taster sessions are available in Blackheath, Chiswick, Dulwich, Ealing, Eltham, Hampstead, Teddington, Marylebone, Woodford, and Wimbledon.
If you find you like it and want to join, the cost is £100 (£90 for juniors) for a ten-week course, which includes rehearsals and any scheduled performances during that time.
Remember, you
don't have to be like Pavarotti (I'm talking about his singing ability, not his size). The experienced organisers are expert at getting the most out of what you have to offer, and will always find a place for you.
Hurry along to a Rock Choir taster session as soon as you possibly can and get your vocal folds oscillating! You know they want it.
