No Experience Needed! Debunking the Myths of Joining a Choir

Have you ever found yourself tapping your foot to a catchy tune or singing along to your favourite song in the shower? Do you sometimes dream of being part of a harmonious ensemble but hesitate because you think you're not "good enough"? It's time to let go of those doubts and discover the joy of singing with others in our community choir!

Myth 1: You need to be a professional singer.

Many people believe that to join a choir, you need to have years of vocal training or a natural talent for singing. This couldn't be further from the truth! Our community choir is open to everyone, regardless of experience. Whether you're an experienced vocalist or someone who's never sung a note outside of karaoke night, we welcome you with open arms. The beauty of a choir lies in its diversity of voices, and yours is a valuable addition.

Myth 2: You must read sheet music.

Feeling nervous about reading sheet music? No worries! While some choirs require this skill, our community choir is more focused on the love of singing and the shared experience. We'll guide you through the basics, and you'll find that it's not as daunting as it seems. Plus, we often use practice tracks and recordings to help you learn your part. Before you know it, you'll be singing confidently alongside your fellow choir members.

Myth 3: Choirs are only for certain age groups.

Our choir spans generations! We have members of all ages, from teenagers to seniors, and everyone in between. This mix of ages brings a unique and vibrant energy to our performances. Whether you're a student looking for a creative outlet, a busy professional needing a break, or a retiree seeking new friendships, you'll find a place in our choir.

Myth 4: You need to audition to join.

Auditions can be intimidating, but in our community choir, there's no need to worry. We believe that everyone has a voice worth hearing, so we don’t hold auditions. Just come as you are, and we'll help you find the right spot in our ensemble. It's all about the joy of singing and the sense of community we create together.
