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. All you need to bring is your enthusiasm.

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

Fees and flexible attendance
