Membership

There is no audition – just come along to one of our rehearsals and see for yourself what a friendly choir we are. We welcome everyone no matter what your level of experience is.  If you've only ever sung in the shower, or if you've sung in choirs all in your life, we'd love for you to join us.  Email us at to get more information.
 

Do I need to be able to read music?

No! Some of us prefer to use lyrics rather than scores; you can choose which works best for you.
 

Will I have to sing on my own?

No! Sometimes our songs have solos or small groups, but these are always voluntary. 

I don't know what my voice is

Maybe you've heard about "sporano" or "bass" voices but don't know where your voice sits. That's ok, we'll help you find which part is most comfortable for you.

How much does it cost?

Fees are £5 per session and can be paid in cash or by bank transfer
 

Here's what some of our members have said about being part of the choir

“WS is unique – no auditions, no criteria, no stereotypes. It harmonises diversity and equality & embraces social inclusion”

“I had previously seen TV programmes on choirs in schools, work places, the military wives etc. Still, I didn’t think I was really a ‘choir type person’. I didn’t even know if I could sing. But on TV it looked fun, exciting and inspirational and so I was intrigued. Then I saw the ad for Woolwich singers. I thought why not and went along. I’m really happy I did. I’ve met some lovely local people and learnt lots more about singing and music. Each week I’m excited about turning up and after each session I leave with a big smile upon my face and a spring in my step! I would say to anyone thinking of going along to stop thinking and just come along!"

“I look forward to singing every Wednesday. I’m addicted to it! Everyone is so friendly. I have never read music and learn more and more each week. I feel encouraged each time to challenge my voice and am very happy with the result.”
