It's great fun! We sing lots of songs- at present everything from gospel to folk songs, songs from round the world, and of course at this time of year, we're starting to think about some Christmassy ones as well!
And then you get to eat the most divine cake... this week Marie made her (infamous) amazing millionaire's shortbread- we all think she should be on cake duty every week! But whatever cake we get to eat, it's always over a cup of tea and a good natter, before we go back to the job in hand- we're here to sing and feel good about singing!
So come along, don't worry if you think you can't sing, you'll soon learn as everyone has it in them, however deep down it lurks if you were told to mouth the words at infant school..... do teachers realise how much harm they do telling kids that?
See you all on Tuesday!
SKYLARKS COMMUNITY CHOIR............... Sing in the bath? On the way to work? Join in with your favourite song when you hear it and then it's stuck in your head the rest of the day?

been a bit busy....
but just wanted to say how well everyone sang on Tuesday- sounded great! If you are interested in doing solos do let me know so I can ask you as and when.... a lot of the pieces we'll be doing this term there will be little solos in them so everyone who wants a go will get a chance! (or 2 or 3!)

1st night! Well done everyone!
What a night! Lots of old faces and lot of new ones. Lots of singing- worked on 3 different songs. You all did so well- it's hard after a summer off to get back into the whole singing thing, listening, cooperating, taking turns (sounds like kindergarten!) but it's so worth it! We'll keep on with the songs we worked at this week and add in the Raven folk song (print off this blog) and something else from the blue Dreamtime book. So if you need a copy of Dreamtime, contact Grace (and if we need more copies she'll let me know!)
I'm already looking forward to next week, so keep practising being relaxed..... and take a look at the songs before next time, if you can!
