How to join the Chordettes
If you are interested in joining us, please contact our MD Sue via singchordettes@gmail.comWe encourage and welcome anyone interested in joining us to come along to a few of our rehearsals.
Have a listen, join in, and see if you like what we do!
We always start our evenings with a fun warm up to get our bodies, brains and voices ready for singing.
There is no requirement to read music - we have teacher tracks for singers to learn by singing along.
We usually run a "Love to Sing" course each year, but if you miss that, it doesn't matter - we welcome new members at any time.
We sing in four-part harmony, so our MD and Voice Part Section Leaders will help new members to find where their voice sits - from very low to very high, and everything in between. That's why what we do is so brilliant, there is a part for everyone!
If you decide you like what you hear, we will ask you to learn a piece from our repertoire, and when you feel ready, undertake a brief voice test with a small group of singers. We won't ask you to sing on your own.
Due to the acappella style of singing that we perform, we just need to know that singers are able to hold their voice part.
Our membership fees are quite modest, and cover everything from sheet music, teacher tracks, some merchandise, membership of the Ladies Association of British Barbershop Singers (LABBS), insurance, running costs etc. etc.
So don't be shy - come and give us a try!
