Give your heart a voice through harmony and community bonding in this all-inclusive, wellbeing focused acapella choir. We learn with simple songs by ear to create amazing harmonies together.
No need to read music and no need to have sung before.
Created in partnership with the NHS, this singing group is offered as a supportive space for wellbeing and confidence and is open to EVERYONE – especially if you think you can’t sing!
A safe and fun space for EVERYONE to explore and reclaim singing as YOUR BIRTHRIGHT, and the magic of voices that come together in song.

In a fun and relaxed atmosphere, we sing short songs in simple harmonies from around the world, from folk to gospel, tribal and spiritual – songs that sing of Love, Peace, Compassion – or sometimes just fun songs.
All songs are taught by ear and through the body (no music reading here!) so that everyone can learn easily, incorporating meditation, mindfulness, gentle body work and conscious breathing exercises for confidence and connection to your own true voice.
The class includes 1/2 hour voice warm-up and singing techniques, and simple songs from all over the world in 1 to 5 parts to suit all abilities from novice to accomplished so that everyone can follow.
There is always something you can contribute no matter your level of experience or confidence, and you will definitely have a good time, with lots of shared laughter, mutual support and surprising achievements.
This is about re-discovering that singing is natural and a normal part of being human, and how it reconnects us to our own heart as well as to each other when we sound our voices together. Creating happiness, empowerment, wellbeing and authentic heart community – singing is a major key to mental, emotional and physical health and it is free!
I also teach fun and simple exercises to help you find, protect and improve your singing voice, so that you understand how singing works and how you can develop your voice for confidence and skill. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced singer, you will find that you naturally make progress with your singing week after week.
But most importantly, this is a friendly, supportive, relaxed and inclusive group, with no pressure and no judgement.
You are welcome whatever your skin colour(s), gender inclination(s), political trend, spiritual belief, neuro-divergence (I am autistic myself), and whether you love or hate Marmite. Even if you are a BSL user, there are many ways in which you can join in, creating singing in your own way. ☀️
The main purpose is that everyone enjoys themselves a lot and leaves each session with a warm fuzzy heart boost.
Classes are offered fortnightly during term time, with opportunities to sing in public at local events or in mini flash mobs for those who wish (this is optional so no pressure!).
Everyone welcome, no experience required.
Singing is what we ALL share in whatever way that may be, so please DO come and join us! – we are waiting for you. 💕
Please note that the tutor's Assistance Dog is present during most classes. Unfortunately we are not able to accept pets.
