Join us

Quinborne Choir is a particularly warm and friendly choir. We welcome new members of all voice parts but, like most choirs, are especially keen to hear from prospective tenors and basses.

•We meet to rehearse on Wednesdays 7.30 to 9.30pm with a 15-minute refreshment break midway. The choir takes a summer break for part of July and August. We rehearse in the Main Hall at Queen Alexandra College, Court Oak Road, Harborne, B17 9TG. There is a free car park at QAC and it is also on the 24 bus route and near the 11 bus route.

•If you are interested in joining the choir, you are welcome to come and meet us and to try out some rehearsals. If after a few weeks you decide that you would like to join, you will have an informal and supportive audition with our conductor who will take you through some vocal warm ups to check the range of your voice and hear you sing a short section of your choice from one of the pieces on which we are working.

•Although it is very useful to be able to read music to some extent, it is not always essential when you first join as this skill can be learned and we also share helpful audio resources that can be used to practise between rehearsals.

•Likewise, although previous choral experience is helpful, the ability to sing in tune, enthusiasm and commitment are just as important. Our conductor works on vocal technique during the rehearsals and so it is your musical potential that matters.

•Our annual membership subscription is £15 per month or £180 per year (generous reductions given to Under 18s and those in full time education). Confidential consideration will be given to a member with financial difficulties.

•To ask about any other aspect of joining the choir and to register your interest, please contact Jenny on 07874 323260, email or just come along to one of our rehearsals.
