Join our choir

We have some exciting plans for the new year and are looking for new members to join us.

We will never ask you to audition or sing by yourself. We want everyone to have fun and enjoy singing together without any pressure. You don’t need music experience to join Collective, we’ll help you get started from your first rehearsal.

We’re looking for members who are;

  • music lovers and enjoy singing
  • willing to use some of their own time to listen to the rehearsal tracks and learn the music
  • aged 16+
  • able to stick to our code of conduct

Get started

Rehearsal times

We normally rehaerse between 16:00 and 18:00 on Saturdays at Sage Gatehead. We will send a rehearsal schedule once dates are confirmed.

There is a nominal fee for each rehearsal to help cover the cost of our rehearsal space, pianist and music printing. Collective Music UK is a registered charity. We use all fees and donations exclusively to maintain and grow the choir.

We can take Visa, MasterCard and American Express payments, including contactless and mobile payments (like Apple Pay).
