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.
Hear The Choir
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!
Hear The Choir
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.
