Singing Courses & Workshops
Come and be a part of our flagship choir. All you need is a willingness to work hard and a sense of fun!
This is Music for Everyone’s flag-ship choir, a large-scale four-part chorus (200+ voices) performing major classical and twentieth-century works, with our own semi-professional Concert Orchestra.
Membership is open to all by subscription (no auditions). There are no weekly rehearsals – singers are provided with scores and rehearsal CDs to help them learn the music at their own pace.
There are three intensive and highly enjoyable events per year: an October day course and concert and then a weekend course with concert in January/ February and a workshop day in June/July. There is also the option of attending a sectional rehearsal prior to the course – there’s one for sopranos and altos and one for tenors and basses.
