We've been SING-Devon-ing in Plymouth since 2015. The ethos is simply that we get together for the sheer joy of singing together! It’s a warm, welcoming group – we don’t do formal. We get beautiful sounds but in a way that lets us have fun and joy ourselves as we do it.
Both experienced singers and people who haven’t sung before are welcome. You don’t have to be able to read music as the teaching is by ear, but if you find it helpful ‘the dots’ are available, as well as mp3’s of all the songs and individual parts.
There are no auditions. We perform from time to time, but that’s not the main focus. It’s mostly about the joy, beauty and zing that happens on a Thursday night when we sing together!
We choose songs that we find uplifting.
Term Dates & Flexible Payment
People are very busy these days and like to be free to drop-in when they can, rather than commit to a whole term. Unfortunately that doesn’t work well with a choir, as it means having to teach from scratch at every session and it is impossible to build a shared repertoire of songs you can all sing as a group, at the drop of a hat. You would get very frustrated with that, believe me!
To strike a balance, we have set up a flexible way of paying. We do not want to turn people away who are struggling financially so we have a low rate for them, a mid rate for those who are a bit better off, and a higher rate for those who can afford it comfortably. You choose which rate you can afford. Multiply it by the number of weeks in the term and there is your figure to pay.
We ask you to pay at the start of term, however if you need to spread payments we can do that. We don’t do paying weekly as it gets too complicated and takes up too much time when we could be singing. You need to be able to do at least half the sessions in a term for continuity.

Now you've met us, we'd love to meet you . . .
