A choir for people who enjoy singing
Leicester Events Choir was founded in 2014. You do not need previous choir experience or an audition to ask about joining. The repertoire includes pop, gospel, barbershop and world music, with opportunities for more experienced singers to explore solos or smaller groups. Singing together is a chance to work on listening, shared timing and confidence as part of an ensemble.
Rehearsals and membership
The advertised arrangements are Mondays, 6–7.30pm in Clarendon Park, for singers aged 16 and over, with membership at £20 per month. Please confirm the current rehearsal venue, timetable, availability and payment terms before attending. Contact choir@singinglessonsleicester.com for choir enquiries. These are choir arrangements, separate from individual singing lesson prices.
Learning between rehearsals
The choir has used an online rehearsal archive to support practice between meetings. Ask how to access current material and which part to prepare. You can begin by listening to the overall song, then focus on your own entries and words. The aim is to arrive with useful questions and gradually become familiar with the repertoire.
What members have said
“I have always loved to sing and Lizzy helped to give me the confidence not just to sing from my heart but to perform from my soul!” — James
Singing as a group
“Been attending Choir with Lizzy for almost 2 years now and really love it. We not only learn some great techniques to better our singing ability, but we always have fun and have become a group of friends as well as a great choir” — Sharon

Email with your experience, interests and any questions about coming along. Ask about current performance opportunities rather than relying on an old concert announcement. If you would prefer individual work on your voice, explore singing lessons. Photograph credit: Shepherd Studios57.
What to ask before your first rehearsal
Tell the choir organiser that you are new and ask whether you can attend an introductory rehearsal before committing to membership. Confirm how to find the room, when to arrive and whether you need printed music or a device for accessing lyrics. Mention any access needs in advance so arrangements can be discussed. If you do not know whether you sing high or low, say so; you can ask how parts are allocated without labelling yourself before you have sung with the group.
How to practise a harmony part
Start with the version supplied by the choir rather than an unrelated recording in a different key. Listen for the first note of your entry, the words just before it and the length of any rests. Practise a short passage, then hear it alongside the other parts. If you lose your place, identify a clear point to rejoin instead of guessing through the whole section. Make a note of uncertain words or rhythms to ask about at rehearsal. Shared preparation helps the group spend more time shaping the music together.
Choir singing and individual lessons
Choir rehearsal centres on the ensemble: matching entries, balancing parts and creating a shared interpretation. Individual lessons give you more time to explore a personal question, such as choosing a suitable key or preparing a solo. The two can complement one another, but neither is a condition for enquiring about the other. Ask Lizzy which format suits your interests and schedule. Performances, solo opportunities and membership openings depend on current arrangements, so discuss these directly rather than treating past member experiences as guarantees.
