What to bring

Everything you need for your taster is provided. We will give you a new member welcome pack with simple lyric sheets so you can relax and enjoy the experience.

Just bring yourself, maybe a bottle of water and a pen or pencil.

After you become a member you will gain access to our choir app, where you can find practice tracks, rehearsal catch up recordings, member chat, lyric sheets and music scores if you want them. For future rehearsals you’ll bring your own mobile device or printed sheets to follow along with.

Fees

A large group of people gathered in a rehearsal or practice space, possibly singing or rehearsing, with chairs, music sheets, and a keyboard. The space has tiered seating and high ceilings with lights and air ducts.

We keep our pricing simple and transparent, and your membership helps us deliver a welcoming, well run choir with great music, resources and opportunities throughout the year.

Membership includes rehearsals, ChoirMate resources, catch up recordings, socials, performances and community support.

This membership plan spreads the annual cost evenly across the year. That means one simple, predictable payment each month.

Payments are managed online through your website account, so your membership is simple to set up, easy to manage and you stay in control.

Reduced rate memberships (up to 50% off) are available for those on low or no income, with limited places and at the discretion of the Choir Director. Please contact us to discuss.

All fees are non refundable and missed sessions cannot be refunded or transferred. You can read more in our fees policy.
