Question 1

Do I need previous singing experience to join SPS?

Accepted Answer

Not at all. It doesn't matter whether you're a complete newbie or you've been singing for years, all levels of experience are welcome at SPS. If you love singing and can hold a tune, we'd love to have you join our choir.

Question 2

Is there an age limit to join SPS?

Accepted Answer

We accept all singers aged 13+ years.

Question 3

How do I join SPS?

Accepted Answer

To make sure we have a base level of vocal ability for our performances, we have an informal audition process. You'll just need to submit a short video audition to our Choir Director, Nicole.

If you're accepted to join, you'll then be invited to take part in a 3-week trial so that you can experience SPS for yourself. After that, as long as you're happy, you can then sign up for full membership. Find out more about joining SPS

Question 6

What do membership fees pay for?

Our fees cover the following:

- The preparation of bespoke song arrangements 
- Recording of backing tracks for learning resources outside of the rehearsal space
- Promotional activity and marketing for our performances
- Administration fees and business taxes

Question 7

What happens if I can't attend a rehearsal?

Accepted Answer

Ideally, we'd love every one of our choir members to be at every rehearsal, but we understand that life can sometimes get in the way.

If you can't attend a session, we ask that you let Nicole know as far in advance as possible. You'll then just need to catch up on any material you missed before the next rehearsal – your fellow choir members are pretty awesome at recording and sharing rehearsal lessons.

Question 8

Do I have to take part in public performances?

Accepted Answer

There's absolutely no obligation to perform publicly with SPS. However, we are a performance choir so we would ask you to consider if SPS is the right choice of choir for you if you don't want to perform and show off your talent to the public.
