No, you do not need previous experience to try our groups. Our groups are community-based, which means everyone is allowed to try the group. There are no auditions.

Yes, you can join! Many of our members don’t read music, and we teach all songs during rehearsals. We also provide practice videos to help you learn your part by ear. Additionally, we introduce basic music-reading skills in rehearsal, so over time, you’ll develop a foundational understanding of reading music.

Membership in the group is 32.50€ per month, which comes to around 8€ per rehearsal. This fee helps cover rehearsal and performance venue rentals, staff compensation, and music licensing costs. You’re invited to attend two trial rehearsals before deciding to join officially, and membership can be canceled at any time. Members also enjoy complimentary access to quarterly webinars, hosted by industry professionals, that explore a wide range of choir-related topics, from basic to advanced concepts.
