Frequently Asked Questions

  • 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.

    No, our songs are taught by ear.
