Begin your choir era with City Academy Amplified Choir. Our pop and rock choir is perfect for those who love singing indie, pop and rock classics in a fun, upbeat setting. Make the most of our welcoming community and befriend our free spirited singers coming from all backgrounds and singing abilities.
Our Amplified Choir is our beginner's choir, meaning you do not need extensive singing experience to join. All we ask is that you have completed at least our Singing Beginners or equivalent somewhere else.
Perform in two magnificent concerts in our summer and winter show seasons and we welcome new members throughout the year. If you’re interested in joining, simply sign up for a taster session where you will join Amplified for a regular drop in rehearsal. You'll have the opportunity to meet our Musical Director, Liam Connery, and experience the choir first-hand.
No audition required and you don't need to be able to read sheet music. Musical Director Liam will take you through the current repertoire and if you both feel the pace of learning is manageable you’ll be invited to join.
For the first session, there is nothing to prepare and no pressure at all. Following the taster, our team will be in touch to advise on the next steps. Sing a legend, sign up today!

Who Can Join?
Our City Academy Amplified choir is open to anyone, even those with little singing experience. If you are an absolute beginner, we recommend you complete a Beginner’s Singing course before progressing to the choir.
We are always looking for new members, so if you have a love of performing and are looking to develop your vocal technique, please book a taster or contact info@city-academy.com for more information.
As a member of Amplified, you don’t have to commit to every rehearsal evening, as we appreciate people have busy lives. However, putting on a choir show takes a lot of commitment, hard work, and practice at home for it to be a success, so we do ask that you attend as many classes as you can.
