March Can't Sing Choir is a pay-as-you-go, year-round weekly community friendship choir. They have no auditions, nor require previous musical experience. They sing for fun. All newcomers are welcome.
This activity is good for wellbeing because
- You will meet new people and make new friends in the community
- Through singing with others you will gain personal confidence and improve concentration by learning new songs and breathing techniques in a light-hearted way
- You will have a regular evening activity which puts a marker into each week.
‘We love the choir, the laughs, the chat, and being part of a happy singing family.’
