Thursday Choir

This group is for amateur singers who are ready to progress from a community choir.

  • You want more of a challenge, but at a gentle pace.
  • You'll be up for singing with musical scores (you don't need to be a sight-reader, as you'll be given lots of support, but you're ready to have a go!)
  • And, importantly, you would welcome warm fellowship and lots of laughs.

From our members

"Never have I worked so hard on my music and enjoyed it so much!"

"I don't know if you could tell from my face, but God I loved every bit of the singing 🙂 I am definitely a little better at singing now than I was before Eclipse. I thoroughly enjoyed learning a number of pieces, especially Hallelujah and Disney Fly! But for me, the best parts were the warm-up exercises. They were so challenging yet so supremely fulfilling at the end of it."

"I have learned so much from Jim! I'm a better singer, and as a choir we have stretched and grown so much because of him. He is an exceptionally good teacher and drops amazing gifts of musical goodness into our lives on a weekly basis. If you want to become a better musician, and have a thoroughly satisfying time practising, then Eclipse is the choir to join."

Currently Recruiting
