Join Our Choir
Become part of St John's rich choral tradition by joining our welcoming choir. Our choir is a ‘traditional’ robed choir comprising adults at the moment but hoping to recruit Junior Choristers.
To become a Junior Chorister, you need to be 7+, able to read well, hold a melody and be able to attend choir practice on Friday evening (6.30pm-7.30pm) and sing at the 9.45am service every Sunday.
Our Junior Choristers follow the RSCM ‘Voice for Life’ courses which enable them to learn to read music with basic theory. It may sound daunting but it can be great fun!
