- Who can join our choir?
Anyone can join us over the age of 18. All you need is a love of singing. - Can both men and women join?
Yes, we are a mixed choir and sing in 4 parts - bass, tenor, alto and soprano. - Can I try out the choir before I decide to join?
Yes, in fact your first night at the choir is exactly that. It lets you get a feel for the music, enjoy the atmosphere and get to know some of the other Elation Community Voice family before you decide if you want to join permanently. - Do I have to audition?
No, all you need to do is come along and find out if it's your thing. You have no obligation to come back again and become a member but we find that most people enjoy themselves and choose to keep returning. - Do I need any experience?
No, none at all. Not even if you haven’t sung since childhood. - Do I have to be able to read music?
No, our songs are taught by ear. - What kind of music do you sing?
We sing a wide range of songs by artists including Adele, Elton John, Sam Smith, Sting, Motown and Beatle Medleys, Gospel and Show Stoppers. - Do I need to know what kind of voice I have?
No, we sing in 4-part harmony and you can try different parts until you find a pitch that suits your voice best. - Does the choir perform to the public?
Yes, we normally perform around 3 times as year- Spring, Summer and Christmas and local events such as Buckby feast. In 2015 we performed at a wedding. - How many are there in the choir?
We have around 50 regular members with many more dropping in now and again. - How much does Elation Community Voice Choir cost?
Members pay £2 per week on the door. We also sell the music to all members at a subsidised price. There is a hardship fund available to support choir members; please speak to Nathan Toseland or Lesley Saillet in confidence to access this. - How can I join?
