What to expect

We’re a friendly, welcoming bunch with around 20 singers. Rehearsals include a relaxed tea break halfway through – feel free to bring your own mug! We mainly use printed music (don’t worry – we’ll help you find your way through it, and most of our members end up preferring it even if they’ve joined with no music experience). We also have lyric sheets if you prefer, and having a pencil to hand can be really useful. Our choir leader is a professional vocal coach, so alongside learning and singing great music, you’ll also pick up tips and tricks for using your voice – even if you’ve never sung before, we’ll help you feel confident. Our rehearsals are full of laughter, music, and support – a chance to reconnect, reset, and enjoy a midweek boost in a friendly group.

Joining the choir has been a good experience. The people are friendly and helpful, with a smile and a helping hand. While also being considerate of my walking disability. Come and sing with us it’s fun!

Audrey Johnson

5 / 5

Great to see this organisation expanding into more places. I absolutely love singing with this choir in Sutton Coldfield and the charitable support they give is so important too. The feeling you get from performing as a big group in a large venue is also unforgettable.

Shirley Williams

5 / 5

I joined the choir as a new activity to elevate, grief. The group is friendly. Our choir leader Joe is so lovely and upbeat, and Douggie, our accompanist, is amazing on keyboard. The music and singing is really uplifting. It's a fun evening when one can forget oneself.
