What happens at a
Local Vocals Leigh session?
Every Monday morning, we come together for 90 minutes of singing, laughter and connection.
A typical session includes:
• A warm welcome and time to settle in
• Simple vocal warm ups to get everyone comfortable
• Learning uplifting songs in easy to follow harmony parts
• Singing together with no pressure to perform alone
• Plenty of encouragement, support and a good laugh
No need to read music, just come along and enjoy it.
After the rehearsal, you can log onto the online Members' Area to access your lyrics, harmony tracks and extra resources so you can practise at home if you want to, as well as signing up to sing at local and regional events.
Leigh's Local Vocals is about so much more than singing. It is a chance to step away from the rush of the week, enjoy a relaxed evening, have a laugh and spend time with a wonderful community of local people.
Many of our members join because they love singing, but stay because of the friendships, confidence and sense of belonging that grows week by week.
New to the area, looking to meet people or wanting something for yourself after work? Our Leigh choir is a brilliant place to connect, unwind and do something uplifting each week.
Coming on your own? Lots of people do and quickly become part of the choir family.
More than a choir... a place to make friends in Leigh
