This three-week chorale workshop is designed for adults and older youth who want to explore the joy of group singing in a welcoming, community-focused setting. Whether you have years of choir or theatre experience, or you simply enjoy singing and want to build confidence, this workshop will offer a supportive space to learn, connect, and make music together.
Led by an experienced guest instructor, the workshop will focus on vocal technique, ensemble singing, harmony, a cappella skills, and the unique energy that comes from blending voices in a group. Participants will have the chance to strengthen their singing, learn new approaches to choral performance, and experience the fun of creating music alongside others.
This project is also about building something bigger. Chatham-Kent has many talented singers, but there are not always enough secular, community-based opportunities for people to sing together outside of church choirs, theatre productions, or one-time performances. This workshop is a step toward connecting those voices, encouraging new musical friendships, and imagining future opportunities for local choruses, small ensembles, and community performances.
No perfect voice is required. Just bring your curiosity, your love of singing, and a willingness to be part of something new.
