Did Y​ou K​now?
While the feel-good effects of singing have long been recognised, there's growing evidence that it can have a positive impact on a whole range of physical and psychological conditions, from reducing pain and increasing pain-relieving endorphins to reducing anxiety and lifting mood. Joining a singing group also has the social element of meeting other people and achieving something together.
Singing for Fun and Wellbeing in Berks, Bucks, South Oxon, Hants, Surrey and online
Our friendly singing groups meet weekly and they are about fun group singing in unison or simple harmony and incorporate breathing techniques. There is no pressure, we don't perform at concerts nor do we ask our members to make a long-term commitment, it's all about singing for wellbeing and fun, having a social get together, building up some repertoire and generally getting that great uplifting feeling you get when you sing together as a group.
Classes last an hour and a simple monthly subscription provides unlimited access to attend as many classes as you like each week, without any long term commitment. No singing ability or experience is necessary; even if you think you can't sing we will teach you some basic techniques so that you may end up surprising yourself with how much you can achieve!
