Testimonials
"I really underestimated the effects on your welbeing, I initially started just for social reasons, I've never sung before ... I couldn't believe how good [I] felt afterwards, especially when things aren't going well at work, and you've got something else to think about, it's a real emotional release. It's a big wellbeing factor." - Jayne, choir member
"Very welcoming choir who are very accepting even if you can’t sing well initially. Lots of fun and good for your spirit! Cate and Maryanne are great!" - Melgaret, choir member
I was really nervous about getting back into singing after a long time and [Cate and Maryanne] have made it welcoming, fun and enjoyable. It really helped pull me out of a slight postnatal anxiety funk, and I'm very grateful" - Kathy, choir member.
