Frequently Asked Questions

How do I book my free taster session?

 

If you would like to see if our small, friendly choir is for you, with no obligation, simply send an email to yorkshirefolkchoir@outlook.com with any questions and your preferred date (Thursday in term-time) and we'll get it sorted!

 

 

How do I join the Yorkshire Folk Choir?

 

If you have enjoyed your free taster session and would like to come again, just let us know by email at yorkshirefolkchoir@outlook.com

We will then send you payment details and print all the music for you.

 

 

Do I have to audition or be able to read music?

 

No! There are no auditions, no previous experience is necessary and there is no requirement to be able to read music.

You will join a small, friendly group of like-minded singers, who simply love to sing and will, most likely, not have had any prior experience.

Your voice will soon blend with the group and you will be taught by a professional Choir Leader who will quickly help to build your confidence.

 

 

Are there any restrictions?

 

We are a fully inclusive adult choir, so the only stipulation is that you are 18 or over.

Our rehearsal room is wheelchair accessible and we make every effort to ensure that any performance venues are accessible for anybody who wishes to attend.

 

 

How much are membership fees?

 

Our membership fees are;  

£6.50 per week or £22.00 per month

Fees are paid by Standing Order and are based on an annual cost, therefore are paid every week / month even when there is no rehearsal. 

The membership fees cover the cost of paying the professional Musical Director, venue hire, creation of all the musical resources, performance licences for all the songs that we use, copyright fees to the publishers and maintenance of our website.

 

 

Do I have to take part in performances?

 

Members are invited to take part as much or as little as they like and are under no pressure to perform. Although the performances are well-organised and create an exciting experience for the choir, some members may choose to wait and build their confidence before committing.

There is usually no cost to take part in a choir performance however, you may have to pay for your own transport and refreshments where appropriate.
