Rock Choir is a contemporary choir with an emphasis on fun, friendship and community spirit. They meet weekly to sing feel-good pop, rock and contemporary songs. You don’t need to read music and there are no auditions!
This activity is good for wellbeing because
- Group singing is a joyous experience which can boost your mood and reduce stress;
- Learning and performing new songs can help build your self-confidence;
- It’s a great way of meeting people, socialising and forming new friendships – both at rehearsals and social events.
“I was so nervous walking into the room for my taster session. But I loved the energy of the choir and the zesty supportive enthusiasm of the Choir Leader. I’m so glad I signed up because I have made some lovely friends.”
