Every choir will reach a particular rehearsal, usually about halfway through the preparation schedule when, one or two people, usually less experienced singers, suddenly disappear. This half-way point is when some choir members, especially beginners, find themselves thinking: “I’m not good enough to be doing this.” “I’m not doing as well as everyone else.” If this sounds familiar, pause and ask yourself: By what metric are you measuring your progress?

One of the most rewarding parts of our choir journey is taking part in guest performances at local events and venues. Over the years, we’ve discovered that these occasions are by far the best way to raise awareness of our choir’s existence and to spark interest from potential new members.
