Before your Free Taster
Thank you for signing up for your UK Soul Choirs Free Taster account. We can’t wait to welcome you to our choir. We have all singing levels and experience in our choirs so you have nothing to worry about, whether you have sung before, or not.
All you need to do before your Free Taster is to check the location address below for the session you want to try, and find the next rehearsal - everything will be explained once you arrive and as we learn by ear you don’t need any music. Lyrics are available from this dashboard.
At the Free Taster
When you arrive make sure you sign the FREE TASTER REGISTER so we can check your contact details and we know you came. Then go and introduce yourself to the leader who will help you work out your voice type if you haven't already, and show you where to sit usually putting you with an experienced member to help you navigate your first rehearsal.
You may wish to use lyrics for whichever song we are learning and you can easily find these by logging in to your Free Taster Area on your phone - Lyrics are accessible when you click on the REHEARSAL LYRICS button from your Free Taster Dashboard.
As you get used to the way we teach, we try not to us lyric sheets as it goes in much quicker that way, but of course you can use them as you need to if you find helpful.
After Your Free Taster
Following your free taster (and providing you signed in) you will receive an email with details of how to join and information about our various membership plans- all accessed via the website. Once you have subscribed to a plan, you will have full access to all learning resources and our calendar of events and other member benefits etc. Click CHANGE PLAN to choose a membership plan that suits you.
If you don't wish to join us for other reasons we would be grateful if you would fill in the feedback form when you cancel your Free Taster plan (from your profile) so we can keep learning and improving.
By signing up, you have signed up to our terms and we will email you with news of new terms and offers every so often. If you don't want to hear from us, you can easily unsubscribe at any time using the link at the bottom of any of our emails.
We really hope you enjoy your Free Taster session - we can't wait to meet you!
