We meet once a week at Sage Cross Methodist Church in Melton Mowbray (behind Morrisons) from 7.30 – 9.30pm.
Every session begins with a short physical and vocal warm up followed by some rounds and three or four part harmonies. We usually work on something new for our repertoire and polish up some of the old songs too! Everything is taught by ear so you don’t have to read music.
There are no auditions, the only requirement is an enthusiasm for singing. You can try your voice with the sopranos, altos, tenors or basses and, if you want to improve your range, move to different sections for different songs.
We perform three times a year, usually at the end of each term’s work. Performance is not compulsory but encouraged and everyone gives each other plenty of support!
A new section called 'Close Harmony' was formed in March 2007 and meets every fortnight for three hours on Wednesday evenings. The section is 12-14 strong and sings both the choir and its own repertoire. All the section members are established members of the main choir. 'Close Harmony' sings at main choir concerts but also has its own gigs.
