We meet on Wednesday evenings at 7 p.m. at Paignton Parish Church, for our weekly rehearsal. The choir is non-auditioned, but our choirmaster does like to briefly listen to new members on a one-on-one basis to decide where they'd fit in best. An ability to read music is desirable, but not essential, as music-reading skills are taught in our rehearsals.
We're a friendly, growing bunch of singers, and extend a warm welcome to other singers. In addition to leading the congregation's singing, we present a four part anthem each week, and are extending our repertoire as new members join.
If you'd like to come along and give us a try, please contact our choirmaster Gareth Perkins by email: [email protected], or just turn up at Paignton Parish Church for our 9.30a.m. Sunday service and say hello to him afterwards. Alternatively, visit the 11a.m. service at St. Andrew's Church, Sands Road, where there will generally be a smaller choir, but a longer chance to chat with Gareth after the service!
As Paignton is such a popular town with holidaymakers, we welcome visiting singers when in the area. Just turn up in good time for the 7 p.m. rehearsal on Wednesday evening so we can sort you out with the necessary copies of the music, and you'll be most welcome to sing with us on the following Sunday! Please note, though, that the choir doesn't have rehearsals on Wednesday evenings in August.
