Frequently Asked Questions

The Choir does not operate a formal audition policy and you are not expected to be able to read music (though, obviously, it helps if you can).
However, we will check whether you can hold a note and know in general terms whether the music you are singing is going up or down!
We try to operate a 'buddy' system where you are partnered with an established member of the Choir in the section of the choir you are in.
They will help you get used to being in the Choir and with what we are singing at the time.

Be patient - it takes a while to get used to singing in a choir, becoming familiar with the repertoire and building your singing confidence.
But when you are an established member you will thoroughly enjoy it
and research says 'Singing is good for you':

The Choir rehearses on a Tuesday evening from 7 - 9pm in the School Room of Lancaster Methodist Church, Scotforth Road, Lancaster. The entrance to the rehearsal room is on Kensington Road on the north side of the Church.
