Minerva Women's Acapella Chorus

We're a friendly group of women who love close harmony unaccompanied singing.  We rehearse in Walton, Chesterfield, on Monday evenings and sing a mix of songs from a variety of eras and genres. We are committed to working together to improve our vocal techniques and produce a quality sound.

How do I join?

If you're interested in joining us then we'll arrange for you to sit in on a rehearsal, to get a feel for who we are and what we sing.

Then, we ask you to complete a simple application form with more information about you, you'll have a chat with a chorus member to explain more about how work together. 

Do I need to read music?

If you have a basic level of music reading it helps but you'll be given access to our online resources including professionally produced teacher tracks to help you learn our repertoire.   

Do I have to be an experienced singer?

It helps if you have some experience of singing in a choir (even if it is years ago) but we're more interested in whether your voice blends, and we can work on everything else including learning harmonies, confidence and performing.  We have excellent guidance from our Musical Directors. 

What if I don't know what voice part I am?

Don't worry if you don't know where your voice will fit - we will do a very short vocal assessment with you to find out your range, and to check your vocals blend with our existing sound so that we can assign you a voice part. (Soprano 1, Soprano 2, Alto 1 or Alto 2).  

How much does it cost?

You'll pay a one-off joining fee of £15 for your folder of sheet music with all the songs in our repertoire.  We then ask members to set up a monthly direct debit (£15 per month 2022) which covers the cost of new music and the hire of our rehearsal venue.
