Comments from the choir………….
“I’ve been wanting to join a choir for years, but where was ‘Sister Act’ when I needed it? Then, along came The Choir and my prayers were answered! We sing great, modern, energising songs of all styles and influences and I look forward to our weekly sessions, which are pure fun in the company of lovely people. Brilliant!” Eve Cooke, chorister
"The Choir was just what I had been looking for, a chance to have a really good sing as well as improve under Sharon's lively tuition. Its been uplifting and great fun and I've met new people. What a find right on the doorstep!" Jane Bowden, chorister
“I’m very pleased to be part Sharon’s choir, it’s nice to be involved in something that is such a unique concept for this area, there’s nothing quite like it in Cranleigh. She has a fantastic ability at developing the choir’s confidence and enthusiasm as a group. She chooses really great songs that are enjoyable to learn and perform and also provides valuable hints and tips about vocal technique.”
Emma Bamford, chorister

have good musical timing
But you DON’T have to be able to read music and you DON'T have to audition. You will be helped to learn the pieces by ear and there will be plenty of rehearsal time for you to pick things up. If you're interested, ring Sharon on 01483 279803 to arrange to come along to a rehearsal and see if you enjoy it, before committing yourself.
Sharon started the choir in January 2006, as the in-house choir at Cranleigh Arts Centre. She works on an exciting and diverse repertoire, rich in harmony with music ranging from classical, soul, r'n'b, rock and pop - to a capella folk songs. In addition, choristers benefit from Sharon's experience as a singing and performance teacher, as she provides vocal and performance guidance as part of the rehearsals - as well as providing a light-hearted and fun atmosphere during rehearsals - which everyone seems to look forward to!
Plus - a special note for male choristers - we'd love to have you - so don't be shy, come along and join us!
