Frequently Asked Questions
Joining a choir for the first time can sometimes be a daunting experience. We do our very best to be as welcoming and friendly as possible. If you're thinking about joining and have some questions, you might find the answers below, but if not, drop me a message using the link below:
What if I'm tone deaf?
Honestly? Most people who think that are tone-deaf just haven't had the right environment to practice in. We will help you find your voice.
Do I need to bring anything with me?
Nope, just yourself - although I would recommend bringing a bottle of water. Refreshments are provided in the break in the middle of each session.
How long is each term?
Usually 10 weeks, with a 1 week break in the middle inline with the local school terms (although this can sometimes vary depending on when the school term begins and ends).
Is there an audition to join?
Not at all! All voices are welcome!
Do I need to be able to read sheet music?
No, everything is taught through call and response (I sing a bit, you sing it back).
Is the choir affiliated with the church?
Pulse Choir are really lucky to receive a lot of support from the church and enjoy working with the team who run the building, however, these choirs are not affiliated with any specific religion, tradition or faith.
I won't be able to make it every week.
Yes of course! Totally understanding that life gets busy sometimes!
What kind of music do you sing?
Camden Harmony Singers and Pulse Choir perform a mix of pop, world music, and folk, all taught by ear in the Natural Voice tradition.
Are there any gigs? Do you perform?
There are usually at least four or so gigs throughout the year. These are optional, so there is no obligation to get up and sing in-front of an audience if you do not want to.
I'm not sure I'll be able to afford a whole term.
Let me know! Money should never be a barrier for anyone joining the choir. The best thing to do is to let me know. I am able to offer a limited number of discounted places within the choir.
Why can't I access the members section?
Members are able to request the password for this section of the website. On this page are all of the sound files for the songs we're working on this term, for you to listen to at your leisure.
