ONE LOVE CHOIR FAQs

YOU GOT QUESTIONS, WE GOT ANSWERS

Joining A Choir – FAQs

 

Your first time

Are your rehearsal spaces accessible for disabled people?

Yes and if you have questions about this, please let us know before your first taster session so we can make sure you have all the help you might need.

 

Will I have to audition?

No. We ask new people to come 15 minutes early so we can welcome you and will check your vocal range to see if you’re a bass, tenor, alto or soprano during the warm up

 

Will I have to join a waiting list?

No. There’s no waiting list at the moment.

 

I can’t sing. Does that mean I can’t join a choir?

Most people can sing, but may be under-confident if teachers or other people have told them they can’t. It’s a matter of building your confidence up – you’ll be surprised at the sounds you can make!

 

Can I join a choir if I’m not very confident?

Yes! Singing in a choir allows you to blend with the people around you, many of whom will be confident singers. The support of other voices around you will help you build your courage and capability.

 

Do I need to be able to read music to join a choir?

No. Some do, many don’t. You can just use our lyric sheets and audio files to follow along to get a good idea of what the tune is, but our other resources will also help you learn.

 

What support will I get as a newbie?

We operate a buddy system which means we’ll sit you next to an experienced choir member who can guide you. If you feel lost at the beginning, don’t worry about it! You’ll feel right at home soon!

 

How do I know what type of voice I have?

We figure that out for you when you arrive!

 

What sort of songs do the choirs sing?

The joy of the ONE LOVE repertoire is that it whisks you all around the world, back in time and forwards again and through every Afro-Caribbean musical genre. One minute we’ll be singing an african tribal song, the next we’ll be singing the Handel’s Messiah: A Soulful Celebration!

 

How much does it cost to join a choir?

Choir membership

What is the age limit?

All ages are welcome – from 18 and up!

 

Will I have to sing on my own?

Not unless you volunteer to do so. There are slots for soloists so you’re welcome to have a go, but no one will ever make you.

 

I can’t make rehearsals every week, is that a problem?

Not at all. You can skip weeks you can’t make, or if something crops up on your chosen choir night you can always go to a different branch that week.

 

What do I get for my money?

As well as the full weekly rehearsal programme (you can attend on multiple days if you like – all for no additional cost when you pay monthly, 3 monthly or annually! We provide full audio resources and access to the members’ area. Priority access to workshops and other events of interest to singers – we’ll go on tour! Plus, there are opportunities to get out and sing with us, from formal concerts to charity events. Oh, and the post-gig celebrations…

 

Where and when does the choir perform?

Anywhere, everywhere at any time. We have a constant guest appearances which you’ll have access to when you join as we sing quite a bit in and around Bristol.

 

Do I have to sing in concerts?

No, but it’s great fun!
