VOXPOP CHOIRS
VoxPop (short for Vox Populi or "the voice of the people" are non-auditioned choirs with the focus on singing for better health and wellness in a safe and encouraging environment.
WHY Join our VOXPOP CHOIRS?
Our VoxPop "The Voice of the People" Choirs welcomes beginner and experienced adult singers who are interested in:
- Improving mental health: Singing with us can help improve your mental well-being by providing an outlet for self-expression, reducing stress and anxiety, and promoting a sense of belonging and connection with others.
- Increasing physical activity: Singing requires the use of the diaphragm, chest muscles, and vocal cords, which can help maintain and improve your lung capacity, posture, and overall physical fitness.
- Enhancing cognitive function: Singing involves memorization, learning new melodies and lyrics, and practicing vocal techniques, which can help maintain and improve your cognitive function, memory, and overall mental agility.
- Socialization through shared interest: Joining our choir can provide you with an opportunity to meet new people, form meaningful relationships, and engage in a fun and rewarding social activity.
- Sense of accomplishment: Learning new songs and performing (optional) in front of others can provide you with a sense of accomplishment and self-worth, boosting your confidence and self-esteem. It can also provide you with a sense of purpose and fulfilment.
WHAT WE SING
We sing a mix range of music, taking inspiration from the singers themselves to the weather!
The song choices will be a mixed balance of popular songs from various genres and eras (which our singers may be familiar with) to something new and different (those really give our brain a bit of a workout!)

How are the sessions run?
Our sessions are held normally on Sunday afternoons at Harmony Hall PJ and are between 90 -120 minutes in length, with a short break in between.
We begin all sessions with a light physical, brain and vocal warmup (very important!) before immersing into songs. Some songs are taught by ear (lyrics will be provided) and some songs we teach with a music score, though a music background is not required.
Depending on the group, we sing in unison and sometimes up to 4 part harmony.
There's always plenty of laughter and smiles in our sessions and our choir leader Cheryl is committed to providing a safe and non-judgemental learning environment for all. We aim to give our singers the opportunity to enjoy the music making process. There are no auditions to join the group and no singing experience is needed.
