Do you sing in the shower? When was the last time exercised your singing voice
in public? Would you like to join others in raising the roof with song? Come and Sing events aim to let people blow away their vocal cobwebs and experience the great fun and satisfaction of singing as part of a group. Led by a trained animateur, who is expert in singing for pleasure, each event will give you the basics you need to sing from breathing technique to singing with others in different parts. You will also be given information to help you find local singing opportunities whether this means joining a local chamber choir or choral society or having professional singing lessons. Come and Sing! events have taken place throughout England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales in past years. The events in Northern Ireland were part of The Music Experience, a community development programme run by Making Music and supported by BT and the Arts Councils of England, Wales and Northern Ireland
