You don’t need any musical experience and you can join in by singing, Makaton signing, dancing or playing a soundmaker.

This is a great opportunity to find out more about the choir and see if you like it. You will have the chance to meet current members and the Choir Leaders, and of course sing some songs, play your soundmakers, or share your voice in whichever way suits you.

The ‘Come and Try’ event will take place in 5 venues across the West Midlands at 11am this Saturday. For more information, visit our website: https://macbirmingham.co.uk/event/west-midlands-inclusive-choir-come-and-try
