FAQs What does 'non-auditioning mean and can anyone join?'
Non-auditioning means that there is no voice test, and yes, anyone can join.  Some of our strongest and most enthusuastic singers had never sung in a choir before.  However, we do always like potential new members to know that singing in an acappella choir is quite challenging - and you have to do homework!  

We are a supportive community and provide professionally made tracks to learn from.  Learning how to hold a harmony against other voices is the craft we work on every week.  Once you can hold a part, you will be ready to perform with the choir.  If pitching in with other voices remains a problem, you might consider trying a choir that uses backing tracks.  

We think that a cappella is worth the effort -  and hopefully you will too!
