The Wilful Choir

The Wilful Choir is a friendly, fun singing group, with an exciting and inspiring range of songs, for everyone..from complete beginners to more experienced singers.

We not only sing part songs but work on developing range and tone, by ear and learning how to care for our voice as well as some fabulous breathing techniques and fun warm ups

We meet on Monday evenings during term-time 7.30-9.30 pm at the Canbury Park Pavilion, Kingston Upon Thames Here's a map as it's a little tricky to find the first time you come! www.kingston.gov.uk/directory_record/11367/canbury_gardens

If you aren't sure whether the Wilful Choir is right for you try us out for free any Monday, although nearer the start of term is better as there are more likely to be other new people too.

We have wonderful end of term informal performances with lovely food and drink too! And do other performances for local charities when we can.

Recently we have supported SPEAR, a local charity for rough sleepers.

Why singing is so good for you (more on the Resources page)

There are countless physical benefits in singing, which include aiding circulation and helping the lymphatic and immune systems. Your posture improves as singing uses your back and abdominal muscles. You also increase muscle tone in your face, neck and jaw giving you a natural face-lift! Endorphins are released so mood dramatically improves (like chocolate but less fattening.) Singing has enhanced my health dramatically, as I was an asthmatic child but know now that the deep breathing I used whilst singing improved my lung-power.

Songs and chants have been used across cultures and ages for worship, motivation, to give courage and pleasure, celebration, and to help us get to sleep. Singing inspires our soul, creativity, confidence and wellbeing. The Natural Voice method means that there are no auditions, everyone is welcome.

Pam, who is a singer in the group says, “Before you know it, the group is producing a marvellous sound. And you don't have to know anything about music.” There are great emotional and social benefits in joining such a group, “Singing together is simply the best way to build lasting communities “ says Alison Burns and Lynda Daroga, from Petersham and Richmond Friends of Shooting Star adds, “You are a truly wonderful teacher and inspire great confidence in people like myself. I never thought I could sing and now I am thinking of joining a singing group.”

Let Vital Voices and the Wilful Choir open your voice and take you on a new journey.
