Almeley Church Choir is affiliated to the Royal Schools of Church Music
If you enjoy singing and you are at least 7 years old (there is no upper age limit), we would love to have you join us.
We are always keen to welcome new adult members (particulary men!).If you feel you cannot commit to joining us regularly we do welcome people to join us for special services and festivals as long as they attend several rehearsals beforehand.
Church Services are held every week at 11am
Every week we practise to enhance the worship in church. Most choir members try to come to as many services as they can.
However we do like as many choir as posssible on Good Friday, Easter Day, Harvest, Carol Service and Christmas Day
Almeley Church Choir practices are held most Friday evenings from 6.30pm - 7.30pm in Almeley Church.
If you are interested come along and try it for a few weeks before making a decision to join us.
The younger members also have fun after choir practices most weeks until 8.15pm, playing games, preparing for Family Services and working in groups towards our Voice for Life awards. This is a scheme to aid musical knowledge, singing and learning about the choir's place in worship.
It doesn't matter if you haven't a wonderful voice it will improve with practice. You don't need to be able to read music. Much of what we sing can be learnt by listening carefully. Gradually you will find that you csn read music.
Every year recently we have had several members who have attended rehearsals and the Festival in the Cathedral.They have all been thriilled with the event.
We also try to attend RSCM worshops when appropriate.
Singing is not the only thing we do. We have an Easter egg hunt, we go Carol Singing, we play rounders on the Common, we have barbecues, we have a trip out occasionally, but what ever we do we seem to make a lot of noise and eat a lot!(The more vigorous activities are not compulsory for the adults!)
