You may like to watch this short presentation to tell you a little more about the group and some of the research evidence.
New singers
It is helpful to know when new participants are coming – so the song leader has an understanding of your individual needs and so we can look out for you. But you will not be turned away if you just show up.
A typical session includes:
- Gentle physical warm up exercises (seated if that is best for you)
- Breathing exercises
- Vocal warm up exercises
- A range of songs
Covid
We take the risk of covid seriously and follow risk mitigation measures, including:
- keep at least 1m distance between singers
- make sure the room is well ventilated and check CO2 levels stay within a safe range with a CO2 detector
- ask particpants not to attend if they are unwell in any way
We ask for a donation of £4/2 per session, but cost should not be a barrier to anyone coming. The important thing is that you come and sing.
