Soul choir

Entry requirements: None.

Do you love singing together with others? Then the Soul choir sUUng might be just what you’re looking for! Together with up to 30 participants, you’ll form a choir that sings soulful, groovy, and feel-good songs that are hard to sit still to.

Our repertoire focuses mainly on soul music, and during rehearsals we work not only on creating beautiful harmonies and a blended choir sound, but also on having fun together. Making music is a wonderful way to meet new people and connect through a shared creative experience. There’s something special about finding that musical connection together.

Alongside singing in harmony, you’ll also learn various vocal techniques to help you use your voice more effectively, comfortably, and healthily. Throughout the course, we’ll work towards a final performance where you can share what you’ve learned.

This course runs for 15 weeks. Rehearsals take place on Tuesday evenings from 20:30 to 22:00. And if you can’t get enough of singing, don’t worry: a new 15-week Soul Choir course starts again in spring!

What you’ll learn

• Groove and rhythm
• Various vocal techniques
• Developing your musical ear
• Singing together in harmony and blending voices
