Come Sing with Us!
Circle of Harmony members are women who love to sing and perform. They are of all ages, from various walks of life and with varying ranges of musical experience from novice to masterful.
New members quickly feel a wonderful sense of belonging. Aligned with the chorus’ values, the director and chorus members warmly welcome all potential members and endeavour to help them easily integrate into such a large group of women!
Within the supportive atmosphere, they become an integral part of the team. Circle of Harmony believes that each new member is unique and valuable and that with the addition of each new voice, a new chorus takes shape.
FAQs for potential new members:
Do I need singing experience? Experience singing in a chorus or choir would be great, however our members come from a range of backgrounds - some read music and play instruments while others come to us with the ability to sing in tune and a strong willingness to learn. Our members are committed to regular practice. Our chorus has a place for women who sing in all ranges, from high voices (tenors) to low voices (bass) and those in between (lead and baritone).
Do I have to audition? One of our truly kind music team members will bring you into a private room individually to sing a few musical scales and a simple song like Happy Birthday. We do this to evaluate your current music ability and to best place you in one of our four voice parts. If you are later interested in joining the chorus, a more formal audition will be held.
Where are you located? We rehearse in southwest Oakville at the QE Park Community and Cultural Centre and our members come from all over the west GTA - Brampton, Burlington, Caledonia, Dundas, Etobicoke, Georgetown, Grimsby, Guelph, Hamilton, Milton, Mississauga, Oakville, Stoney Creek and Waterdown, to name a few.
I don't know anyone/I'm shy/will I fit in? All newcomers are matched with a chorus buddy, who makes sure that you feel welcome and informed. The women in our chorus are known for being very friendly and welcoming.
