Many of us can remember the moment it happened — a teacher asking us to “mime along,” a family member laughing at our attempt to sing, or a friend joking that we were “tone-deaf.” Those words might have been thrown out casually, but they stick. Over time, they make us quieter, more hesitant, and afraid to use our own voices. .At Raucous Chorus, we believe it’s time to change that story. Singing isn’t about perfection — it’s about expression, connection, and joy. Voices come in all shapes, colours, and sounds, and each one has something unique to offer.
We see it every week: people who haven’t sung for years find the courage to try again, and leave with smiles, laughter, and a spark of confidence they didn’t know they had.
If someone once told you that you can’t sing, it’s time to prove them wrong — gently, joyfully, and together. Your voice deserves to be heard.

At Raucous Chorus, we believe everyone can sing – especially those who think they can’t.
Singing in a choir isn’t about being note-perfect. It’s about connection, confidence, and finding your voice in a welcoming, uplifting space. And the benefits? They’re huge.
Singing reduces stress, boosts your mood, and helps you breathe more deeply and calmly. It releases feel-good hormones that leave you walking out of rehearsals with a smile on your face. It's a little like therapy – but a lot more fun.
Physically, it strengthens your lungs, improves posture, and gets your body moving. Mentally, it sharpens your memory and focus. Socially, it brings people together. Many of our members say Tuesday mornings are the highlight of their week.
You don’t need to read music. You don’t need experience. You just need a bit of curiosity and the courage to come along.
At Raucous Chorus, we celebrate voices of all shapes and sizes – and we’d love to hear yours.
Come for the music. Stay for the joy.
