Rock & Pop Choir in
Thame
The choir was
founded in 2009 by Carol Canning, a former Swingle Singer and
experienced vocal arranger. All music is especially arranged
for the choir by Carol, drawing on her vast experience as a
professional singer and arranger. As an arranger she has
written for The King's Singers, BBC TV and worked with people such
as the late Sir George Martin. Carol has worked all over the
world as a singer in many styles from jazz at Ronnie Scott's to
classical projects at the Royal Opera
House.
We try to put on at
least one concert each term and every now and then go to the
recording studio to record a few songs for fun. So far each
year we have performed at West Wycombe Park during the summer which
is a beautiful venue and we perform regularly at the Thame Barns
Centre plus various venues in the Oxon/Bucks
area.
Everyone is welcome. You don't have to read music or have sung in a choir before. You just need a good pair of ears and be on the ball! The choir goes from strength to strength providing an outlet for those who do not want to go down the 'classical' route. We have fun in rehearsals but also try to keep raising our game!
Songs are sent out via email - and can be in the form of a score or word sheet depending on how involved the arrangement is. Most of the choir are non readers.
We cover all styles:
Rock, pop, jazz, musicals, nostalgia, country and even tango!
You can buy 4
session vouchers for £39.00 or it is £11.00 if you pay as you go
for each session. You use 1 voucher per session and if you
can't come for some reason one week you don't lose out unlike
some choirs where you have to pay for the whole term in advance and
there are no refunds for sessions you miss.
If you want to try out the
choir you can come along and join in. Your first session will be
free.
