From Zoom Room to Centre Stage: Why Joining a Choir Could Be the Best Decision You Make This Year

It’s no secret that working from home has become the norm for many of us, especially if you're self-employed. The chances are you’ve spent more hours than you care to count toggling between spreadsheets, emails, texts and another mug of lukewarm tea - all from your kitchen table.
But here’s the thing no one tells you about that kind of solo working life: it shrinks your world.
It happens slowly. You stop seeing people in person. You stop speaking out loud as much. You start second-guessing yourself during and after client meetings. You avoid video calls because you’re just not feeling… presentable. You forget what it feels like to be seen, heard, and part of something bigger than your inbox. And here's the real kicker. Standing up to give a presentation about your business at a local networking group gradually becomes the stuff of nightmares. Not a great mindset for an ambitious solopreneur, is it?
A recent survey* found that 25% of remote workers believe their social skills have declined, while 66% say working from home has negatively impacted their mental health. Those working for themselves - without the soft support of a team or office culture - are feeling the effects the hardest. Anxiety, burnout, blurred boundaries, and creeping loneliness are quietly becoming part of the self-employed package.
But it doesn’t have to be that way.
Enter: Women Rockin’ Harmony Choirs ®
We’re not your average community choir. In fact, we’re deliberately not a traditional choir. We don’t stand still. We don’t do folders. We don’t make anyone audition to join. What we do is this:
Sing. Move. Communicate.
That’s our ethos — and we live it every single week.
If you’ve ever caught a glimpse of our summer shows (which, by the way, are absolutely electric), you’ll know exactly what I mean. Our singers perform. They connect. They radiate joy and confidence. And many of them, when they first arrived, said the same thing:
“I never thought I’d be the kind of person who could do that.”
Sound familiar?
So Why Don’t More Women Join Choirs?
Because let’s be honest: the idea of joining a choir can feel intimidating.
Some women worry they’re not “good enough”. Or their voice isn't.
Some think they have to read music or audition.
Others feel they might not fit in - too shy, too busy, too out-of-practice.
And if you’re self-employed, you’re probably juggling a lot already. The idea of putting yourself out there - of adding one more thing - might feel like too much.
But hear this: what you might gain could be far more than you expect.
What Women Rockin’ Harmony Choirs ® Can Do For You
Our choir isn’t just about music — it’s about transformation- at every level.
When you join us, you’re not just learning harmonies. You’re rebuilding confidence, connection, and a stronger sense of self.
Here’s what you’ll get:
Improved vocal confidence (great for public speaking and client work)
Reconnection with your body through simple, empowering movement
Social connection with other brilliant, bold women
Freedom from judgment — no auditions, no expectations, just encouragement
Better work-life balance — a reason to shut the laptop and do something for you
Opportunities to perform and rediscover the joy of being seen and heard
You’ll be welcomed. You’ll be supported. And yes — you’ll probably laugh more in a rehearsal than you have all week.
A Space for Women Like You
If you’re the kind of woman who’s built a business, worked through a pandemic, kept things going when it all felt uncertain - then you absolutely have the resilience and spark it takes to be part of what we do. We know this about you because both directors are experienced businesswomen, just like you. We've done the sleepless nights, the overwhelm, the worry, the disappointment, the loneliness and sacrifice. And we decided to do something about it.
We're here for women like you. Women with a story. Women who’ve been quietly holding everything together and are finally ready to do something that lights them up. It's time to invest a few hours a week in yourself. Give your brain a rest from the facts, figures and focus sessions. Learn a few song words, dance a few steps. Take a break from the hustle and grind.
Come and Try It for Yourself
This September, we’re running Newcomer Evenings where you can come along, meet the choir, experience the team spirit, and decide if it’s a good fit - no pressure, no audition, no judgment.
Just an hour or two of something joyful, creative, and confidence-boosting.
And if you leave thinking “I can’t believe I just did that” - even better.
Ready to Go From Zoom Room to Centre Stage?
If your work week is feeling a bit too small, if your confidence needs a gentle nudge, or if you just want to meet some fabulous women and try something new…
We’re right here on the beautiful Fylde Coast and we've saved you a spot. So, come and join us.
It just may be the best decision you ever made - for you and your business.
