You can click on any of the 'Book Free Trial' links on our website, which will take you through to a web form to fill in. From here you'll receive an email back from us asking you to choose a preferred date from our rehearsal calendar to come along to. We shall then book you in and email full details, such as exactly how to find us. Alternatively you can visit our facebook page and send us a message, click our 'Live Chat' function to speak to us instantly, or email us at either info@thecontemporarychoir.co.uk

Once you’ve attended your free trial (outlined above), you’ll receive an email asking whether you or your child would like to join, and details of how to do so. Membership is paid for by setting up an account with our secure online payment system ‘Go Cardless’. A link will be provided via email from us which will take you through to the correct plan for you. You then follow the online instructions to set up membership on our website.

Of course, as long as we know in advance it’s no problem to switch to a different session that is convenient for you. Description text goes here

Absolutely not, there is no audition and you won’t be singled out when you attend your free trial. You’ll be singing within your section and will surely gain the confidence to sing out and have a wonderful time doing so! There may be a song or two where a solo may be appropriate, but that would only ever be the case if the soloist was willing and comfortable enough to sing alone.

Yes absolutely, we welcome all ability levels in our choirs - all we ask is that you can hold a bit of a tune and love to sing! Our supportive atmosphere is perfect for confidence building, and you'll find lots of members who were feeling just like you when they began. We also have lots of singers who have lots of experience, and their confidence will help you to feel like you are on the right track!

We only accept members who are over 16. Working with older teens and adults allows for a more positive and fruitful environment in the rehearsal room. That being said, we do sometimes give consent for slightly younger but mature teens to attend with a parent or guardian, always feel free to ask.

The Contemporary Choir costs £116 per 12 session term – so each session costs £9.67. The usual annual cost is £348 in total, paid in 12 equal monthly instalments of £29 per month.

Monthly payments are made online via a secure system (Go Cardless). We will send a link that will take you through to ‘Go Cardless’ where you will set up your account, thus activating your membership.

We strive for every aspect of the Contemporary Choir to be professional and of a high standard; therefore we work hard behind the scenes and continually invest time and funds into rehearsal spaces, song arrangements, website maintenance, paying live musicians to record, printing etc.

In order to keep your payments even throughout the year, we spread your membership fees equally across the 12 month period regardless of how many rehearsals are in that month. The total price remains the same per term and per year.

We ask that our members are committed to attending each term (to ensure all of our members are at the same level and learning at the same pace), and therefore the Contemporary Choir don’t offer a refund on missed sessions.

If you decide to leave us, just get in touch and once you’re all up to date payment wise we shall help you to cancel your membership.
