Rātā Community Choir

Rātā Community Choir

We are delighted that we can offer this popular choir again this year.
This group will work towards a couple of very informal concerts a year (for family and friends rather than open to the public). We work on a wide range of 2, 3 and 4 part arrangements ranging from early Christmas carols to more contemporary, popular arrangements. The aim is still to have a lot of fun singing with like-minded adults but to work on developing skills as a group, listening to other parts while singing your own, working on dynamics and tone etc. The emphasis is less on technique and more on singing as a group.

You don’t have to be an experienced singer to join and some people come straight to this group without doing the Singcognito intro group. If you aren’t sure, just get in touch and we’ll work it out with you.
