community guidelines
WE got your back
We strive to create an enriching singing experience in an inclusive, affirming and safe environment. These guidelines are to help you understand how to act within the community and what to expect from others in this space.
Covid safety
- All members are encouraged (but not required) to wear a mask when singing.
- Please bring your own charts. Refrain from sharing or touching other people's charts or devices.
- If you feel unwell, please stay home. We will love you from afar and see you next time!
our values
Inclusivity
Northern Voices is a proudly LGBTQ+ friendly choir. We welcome singers of all abilities, cultures and identities. Harassment, bullying or insults based on race, religion, ability, sexual orientation or gender identity will not be tolerated. Be kind, courteous and respectful. Northies is a no dickhead zone.
Non-judgement
Any feedback, even compliments, can make someone feel uncomfortable about singing in front of people. Please do not make comments on others' singing. If you have any concerns about another members singing, or if you hear someone giving feedback on another members singing, please speak to us directly.
Safety
Please be considerate of the safety and comfort of others. Refrain from any activities that may cause injury or endanger yourself or others.
