If an SOS Conductor has to cancel a rehearsal then it will be rescheduled, you will be offered an alternative or you will join in, virtually, with another choir!

An inspirational conductor who ensures you learn material and perform as a choir as well as possible; all music and singalong learning tracks; access to our Members’ Portal; workshops, Wellness Days, regular choir socials and incredible performance opportunities all around the UK.

We pride ourselves on being accessible at Sing out Strong.  Therefore, all our venues have ramp access, we have quiet spaces for privacy, we offer free places for carers, Pay As You Sing (PAYS) places for shift workers and those unable to commit weekly, and also reduced fees for those on benefits.  If you need additional support, then please email hello@singoutstrong.co.uk and request our Support for Disability and Wellbeing document.

We also train all of our leaders and staff in Mental Health Safeguarding so that you have peace of mind that your wellbeing is our top priority.

Sing out Strong is the UK’s first family of wellbeing choirs. That means we want all of our sessions to be uplifting and leave you with a song in your heart and a smile on your face. All our songs are chosen deliberately for their inspirational messages, their upbeat rhythms and their positive nature. We do not just sing pop songs, rather we try to give you a more well-rounded repertoire that supports our ethos and ensures there’s something for everyone. Be prepared to learn gospel alongside African and rock alongside folk!

Never - unless you want to.

Absolutely not!  You do not need to audition for any of our choirs. As long as you enjoy singing then you’re guaranteed to be accepted at Sing out Strong.

Not at all!  Even though you may be given "real" music in your hands, everything is taught by ear and then followed up with singalong rehearsal tracks.  

Nope.  You can just come along to practice for a good sing.  But we believe you won't be able to resist a good concert :)

You must tell us as soon as possible if you wish to leave. This is to allow for the conductors to better plan for their forthcoming sessions. If you just disappear without a word then you will be charged for the session and may also incur fees for future sessions, too.
​
We do understand, however, that circumstances can suddenly change, and if for any reason you cannot pay your fees or you must leave choir immediately, then please contact us and we will do our best to wipe any outstanding charges, where applicable.  We regret that we are unable to offer refunds for sessions not attended, other than in exceptional circumstances.
