You will find varying degrees of talent within our ranks and although the ability to read music is a great asset it is not entirely essential. Obviously there are a few basics to master but you do not need to be supremely competent.
If you feel out of your depth after one rehearsal, please do not give up. Many of us had not sung seriously since our school-choir days and also found it quite daunting to start with, so give it a few weeks before you decide whether it is for you.

CostsThere is an annual subscription, but we are flexible about payments and lack of funds will never be a reason for anyone not to sing with Folkestone Choral Society. Members under 25 years old are not asked for any subs.
Music scores can be hired through the choral society. No auditionsAlthough the choir works to a very high standard, there are no auditions. However, occasionally everyone may be given a simple voice assessment just to make sure they are singing in the section of the choir best suited to their voice. You are welcome to come along at any rehearsal and sit in and perhaps join in and get the unique experience of choral singing.
