If you ever thought you might like to sing....


sing!

The Skylarks isn't your average choir singing the standard choir fare.....

We are a community based and community run choir for everyone- from the age of 10 to 110 you'll be welcome!

No auditions- we believe that with support and encouragement everyone can have fun singing!

We rehearse in Berkeley, Gloucestershire, but we believe community is about caring, about holding out your hands and welcoming, so we currently have members from both Berkeley, villages around it, as well as Cam, Dursley and further afield. So if you can get to us for rehearsals, you're welcome!

great singing tonight!

Wow! another storming night. All you men, you Bryn Terfel soundalikes, and gorgeous floating sopranos (those top notes were hard work though, weren't they?) and the richness of the harmonies. The dynamism when you throw away the music and sing totally from the heart. We need more of that- 100% of the time and then we'll all be feeling totally amazing!

Looking forward to next week- let's come up with some suitably crazy ideas for the new version of Nelson's Blood.

time to commit

Don't forget that we're singing at a charity concert/tea party at Coaley Village Hall on 23rd November. Lots of people really missed us at the last concert, so please sign up and be there! It's always a great afternoon, the tea and cake flows, and everyone thoroughly enjoys it. So if you haven't singed up yet, please do so as we need you all to make that difference.

Christmas is definitely coming!

We're going to start work on the first carol of this festive time of year this week. We're producing a pack of the carols we're going to learn, partly so that you have them all together and they don't go walk about, and also so that when we sing in public we look as professional as we sound! So remember that £1 coin when you come along to choir this week!

the geese are getting fat...

It's that time of year again.... next week we plan to start on a small selection of carols to add to the mix of pop and gospel we've been working on this term, so that we can answer the call when requests for Christmas entertainment come in!

The plan is, over the next few weeks, to get some carols under our belt so we can focus on making all our pieces sound wonderful.

See you next week!

New term fantastic singing

Well done to everyone on the first two weeks of remarkable singing! Would you have believed that you could do so well? Clearly standing in a circle is the answer. So looking forward to us learning lots more this term! You really should be proud of how far we have journeyed together and what potential you have demonstrated.
