City Academy Amplified Choir is our Pop and Rock choir perfect for those who love singing contemporary repertoire in a fun, relaxed setting.
Membership also provides the opportunity to perform twice a year, in Summer and Winter.
Amplified has availability and is looking for new members. If you’re interested in joining us, simply sign up to a taster session. This means you'll be attending one of our regular rehearsals and have the opportunity to meet the rest of the group. There is no audition required, musical director Simon will simply take you through the current repertoire and if you both feel the pace of learning is manageable you’ll be invited to join.
Being able to read sheet music is helpful but certainly not a must. 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 next steps.
In weekly rehearsals, you will develop in the following areas:
Pop & Rock repertoire
Mixed, all genders welcome!
those that have completed a Level 2 Singing course
Monthly membership with weekly rehearsals
City Academy Amplified is open to anyone with some previous singing experience. The choir is not suitable for absolute beginners. If you do not have the experience required, we recommend you complete a Beginners Singing and Improvers 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.
City Academy Amplified perform in showcases and larger scale productions each year at prestigious music venues across London. Additional performances for the choir may also include community projects and live music events.
Choir Members receive:
