Have you ever thought about joining a choir?

We’re very excited to have new funding for a year to form carers’ choirs in two boroughs across the county: Oadby / Wigston and Hinckley / Bosworth.
Leicestershire Carers’ Choirs aim to bring the joy of singing to carers across Leicestershire and it will not matter where you live, as long as you can get to the venues. (Venues to be advised).
Carers would meet for fortnightly choir sessions in the two areas to learn contemporary, upbeat songs in four-part harmony under the leadership of a musical director.
Previous experience of singing in a choir isn’t necessary. You just need to be willing to give it a go.
In addition to developing musicality, the sessions would explore fundamental areas such as breathing technique, vocal hygiene, posture and singing technique.
One of the most important factors is what it does for people's confidence; it lifts people in ways that no other activity can and is a great way of meeting others with similar interests.
Singing is a wonderful way to boost your mood and it has been proven to help you physiologically.
According to TV choirmaster Gareth Malone:
“There are obvious health benefits as well as it being excellent for your state of mind.”
If you’re interested in joining either of the carers choirs, please give us a call on 0845 689 9510.
