What to Expect
Frequently Asked Questions
I've never sung before. Can I join?
Whether you're a complete beginner or a veteran singer on an extended break, most people have a voice that can be trained and honed to one of our choir parts. All you need is enthusiasm and commitment to attend our rehearsals and concerts. There is a voice test, conducted in private with you, the pianist, and our Musical Director, Russell Paterson.
When does the Choir meet?
We rehearse twice a week on a Monday and Thursday from 7.30pm to 9.30pm.
Do I need to read music?
No, but it is an advantage. Lots of choir members do fine without it and you can always learn later.
Do we sing in concerts?
Yes, we sing in several concerts throughout the year at various places. One of the highlights is our Christmas concert at Parr Hall, Warrington. Once you and the Musical Director feel you are ready, you can sing with us in concerts, only if you want to, of course. Once you've been to a few practices, most people can't wait to perform.
How much does it cost?
There is a nominal membership fee paid annually. Information on this will be provided on request.
Do I need to buy anything?
Choir uniform is provided in part. Other items such as trousers and shoes would need to be purchased. Music is loaned to you as part of your membership and returned as requested by the Choir Secretary.
Can I sing in other choirs as well?
No problem. Several of our members sing in more than one choir. As long as you can commit to our rehearsals and concerts, that's absolutely fine.
Ready to Give It a Try?
The best thing you can do is come along and see for yourself. Drop us a line and we'll tell you everything you need to know.
