West Island Choral Singing
West Island Choral Singing – Why we sing:
In recent years in the West Island choral singing (singing in a choir) has become an immensely popular pastime, as many people wish to go beyond group singing limited to intimate gatherings of friends and family. They find joy and fulfillment in experiencing the harmony of singing together.
Coupled with the fulfilment of learning a skill in the pursuit of self-improvement; joining our choir has the added benefit of providing opportunities to make new friends while working together to create something beautiful.
The Lakeshore Community Choir: Our Choir started in 2009, with a dad, and a handful of moms and their kids – the LUUC Family Choir. Today, the choir has reached new harmonious heights, with a membership from across the West Island and beyond. We sing in the baroque, classical and contemporary styles with inspiring messages about peace, community building and protecting the earth. For ages 13 and older.
Choir practices are both fun and challenging. We are taught proper posture, effective breathing, and producing good tone and beautiful harmonies. Don’t read music? No problem. Vocal recordings of Soprano, Alto, Tenor and Bass parts are created for each piece for those of us who don’t read music to allow us to practice at home (or on long car rides!).
Choir practices are frequently on Sunday at 12:15.
