WHICH CHOIR SHOULD I JOIN?
To help you work out which choir is the best fit for you, we've created the decision tree below. It's fine to register for one choir and then change your mind - you will get a chance to check out the options when you visit!
Some choir words:
- Jamboree is the name we use for our one-day gatherings - all of our members get together for the day to sing and have fun, and to get to know each other across the wider organisation.
- Sectionals: singers in choirs are grouped by voice type - usually soprano, alto, tenor and bass. We call these sections, and when these groups meet for a practice (usually with some afternoon tea or a glass of wine), we refer to those as sectionals. A great way to get to know the other people who sing near you in the choir!
So, if you think you know which choir, register for a visit, by clicking on the button and completing the form, and we'll be in touch!
At All Together Now, we believe that singing is a learned skill so we welcome people at all stages of their singing development. If you love to sing, or think you would love to sing and genuinely want to learn, our choirs are for you! We aim for a high musical standard, and we provide skilled teachers and great support to help everyone get there together. As well as the opportunity to learn to sing well, our choirs offer lots of fun, a sense of community within each group and the wider organisation, and a way to contribute to our local communities by fundraising for charity.

Please make sure you read our Terms & Conditions here before joining.
"In the end, our choir is not just a musical ensemble; it is a place to
belong and be inspired. It's a reminder that when we come together, we
create something far greater than ourselves."

how to join:
Concert or Garden Choirs:1. Register through the website. You will be invited to attend a rehearsal on a night when we are welcoming visitors.
2. After your visit, we will invite you to come back to the choir of your choice. You MUST book a spot for this second visit, as we have limited places available. During this second visit, you'll be giving a bit more information about belonging to All Together Now, and have a chance to talk about which choir is right for you, and to ask any questions.
3. After your second visit, we will email you to invite you to join. At this point, membership fees are due, before you receive your website logins, and before you attend another rehearsal. Full term fees are due regardless of when you join during the term.
Singing Club:
Register through the website, and come along. If you join after the first session, your $20 will be offset against a 10-rehearsal concession card of $155.

Register through the website. You will be invited to the next opportunity for visitors to attend. More details to come!
