SINGING GROUPS
Singing with others in a group can greatly enhance your sense of well being. You do not need any experience or expertise to benefit from singing. Warm up exercises lead into well known traditional and contemporary songs, depending on the group’s own decisions. Leaders never force anyone to do what they do not wish. The singing is mainly for your well being, not so much for performance although many of the singing groups take their joyful singing out into the community for the benefit of those in care homes, residential homes and for fund raising events.
