Join the Choir!
Join a Sounds Good choir near you this fall and discover a warm and supportive community of adults 55+ who love to sing. During the 15-week session, you’ll learn and rehearse an eclectic mix of seasonal choral music that will challenge and delight. Because nothing makes the holiday season merrier, the session concludes with a festive holiday concert.
Our professional conductors are experts in the training of the older adult voice, and each week they lead a fun and lively, 90-minute practice session, including vocal warmups, breathing exercises, as you learn and practice each song. So join a Sounds Good choir… learn beautiful music, make new friends!
