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.

Taster sessions are a one-off fee of £7.

After your taster, membership is £28 per month, paid monthly in advance. Membership renews automatically each month until you cancel.

The cost of membership is spread across 12 monthly payments, so payments continue throughout the year, including during school holidays.

Join within seven days of your taster and we'll refund your £7 taster fee.

And we want you to feel confident that PCC is right for you. When you start a new membership, you'll have our 14-day membership guarantee. If you change your mind within 14 days, just let us know and we'll cancel your membership and refund your first monthly membership payment in full.

You can cancel your membership at any time through your website account.

Membership includes:

  • Weekly rehearsals during term time

  • Professional and experienced singing and musical direction

  • Access to ChoirMate and practice resources

  • Rehearsal catch-up recordings

  • Optional performances and community events

  • Regular socials and member activities

  • A welcoming and supportive choir community

Reduced-fee memberships of up to 50% off are available if the full membership fee is difficult for you. Places are limited. Please contact us to discuss this discreetly.

Term and taster dates

We generally follow the Bury Council school term dates, which makes things simple and easy to plan. Our New Member Taster Sessions when spaces are available take place on the first Monday of every half term, giving you a friendly and relaxed way to join us at the same time as other new singers.
