If you are pondering whether there is a 'pop or gospel choir near me' then you may be interested in the local Rock Choir.
Your friendly local Newbury choir is run by singing teacher Chloe Payne. People who have already joined the choir, who hail from Newbury and further afield in Berkshire come from all walks of life and most had no singing experience or ever thought their singing journey would ever take them on TV or radio (not compulsory :-) ).

The songs are uniquely arranged in a way that helped Rock Choir originally establish the simple high/middle and optional low voice approach to make songs easy to sing yet still challenge you in places.
We sing in Newbury every week during term time. You can join the choir by going to rockchoir.com or you can also book a FREE singing taster session to try it beforehand.

There you can come along to see what we're all about - local people bringing the local Newbury community together through something as simple as singing in a choir.
