Frequently Asked Questions

Once you have attended your Free Taster Session we will send you an email which will guide you in how to join the choir. You can also complete the form on the JOIN US page.

There is no audition or requirement to read music. You will join a group of like-minded singers, who simply love to sing and will, most likely, not have had any prior experience. Your voice will soon blend with the group and you will be taught by a professional Choir Leader who will quickly help to build your confidence.

There is no upper limit on age and all adults are welcome. Members from the age of 16 are also welcome to join the choir

Membership fees are calculated over a year and are split into monthly or weekly payments. Payments are taken every week or month even when there is no rehearsal. This is to make the  amounts smaller and more affordable.

Payments are taken by direct debit. All payments are handled by GoCardless. We do not see any account information at any point.

The rehearsal fees cover the cost of paying the professional Choir Leaders; hiring the venues; creation of all the musical resources; performance licences for all the songs that we use; copyright fees to the publishers; maintenance of our website.

We are one of the most competitively priced choirs in our area, however we do have discount schemes for Blue Light Cardholders and Carers. Contact us for further info.

There is usually no cost to take part in a choir performance however, you may have to pay for your own transport and refreshments where appropriate. However, no Member will be under pressure to take part.

Members are invited to take part as much or as little as they like and are under no pressure to perform. Although the performances are well-organised and create an exciting experience for the choir, some Members may choose to wait and build their confidence before committing.

Our uniform is very simple and consists of either a choir polo or t-shirt with dark trousers. The shirts can be purchased from the members area of the website. Members will be informed which performances require the uniform. Other optional merchandise can also be purchased from the members page.

There will be times when photographs and/or videos are taken, either for promotional items or at events and performances. If you would prefer NOT to have your photo and/or video taken, please email us at info@dewsburychoir.co.uk

When you register with the choir, only your name and date of birth information is retained. This is to ensure that you are aged 16 or above and also to know when the birthdays of member's are so we sing Happy Birthday to them at rehearsal during their birthday week. If you would NOT wish to have us do this for you, please email info@dewsburychoir.co.uk
