Membership

Thinking of joining?

Whether experienced or not, even if you have never sung before but want to give it a try, we invite you to apply for membership. We do not audition. Being a member of Elmbridge Choir is really a work of love and just needs your time and dedication. There is no requirement to read music, as our Musical Director plays and teaches each part individually, although it will of course help you if you can read music, even if only a little,

Essentially all you need is an enjoyment of singing, a desire to be part of a thriving organisation and to make a difference in other people's lives through charity fundraising and supporting community causes.

We have a thriving social scene, with regular coffee mornings, local walks, quiz nights, theatre and concert trips, Christmas parties and more - there is always something to sign up for! 

We allow a generous 4-week 'taster' period, free of charge, for you to decide if we are the right choir for you and there is absolutely no obligation to join at the end of it (although we hope you will!). When you first come along you will be matched with a 'buddy' who will guide you through the first few weeks of your membership, although you will very quickly feel at home. Our annual subscription is £180 and we rehearse throughout the year - not just during 'term time' - although we do take a break for a few weeks over the summer, over Christmas/new year and, occasionally, directly after a big concert.  For a typical year of 44 rehearsals, that works out at around £4.00 per rehearsal - and for that you also get free printed scores and access to a host of online learning resources, such as song 'teach tracks'.

Interested? Please CLICK HERE TO EMAIL US (include your name, email address and contact number) - our Membership Officer will be very happy to respond and tell you a little bit about us, and to invite you along to a rehearsal. If you email us and haven't heard back within a few days, please check your Spam/Junk folder as emails can, unfortunately, go astray. That's why it's particularly helpful if you could include a contact number as well, so we can be sure of getting in touch.

You are assured of a warm and friendly welcome!
