Start the New Year with a song!

Research show that singing is good for your health! (*).
So if you want that feel-good feeling in 2013 - come and sing with the Cotswold Male Voice Choir.

Come and learn our new programme of music for 2013 in rehearsals starting on Wednesday 9th January at 7.30 pm (and every Wednesday thereafter) at Prince Michael Hall, Dean Close School, Hatherley Road, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire GL51 6EP.

We don't expect new members to sing an audition or to be able to read music. Whatever your singing ability or experience you'll be made welcome and you'll soon be able to join in. The Cotswold Male Voice Choir is one of the best known and busiest choirs in the county. Our members sing for the love of music and to raise funds for other charities. We sing in cathedrals, churches, concert and village halls, pubs and clubs in very part of Gloucestershire and neighbouring counties. You'll enjoy great camaraderie with friends from every walk of life and age range – who like to sing!

It won't cost you anything to come and try us out. If you enjoy rehearsals and start to learn our music then after around two months you'll be offered membership of the choir. Members can sing at our concerts. Membership only costs £50 a year plus a voluntary £1 raffle at each rehearsal you attend to help fund our running costs.

Professor Graham Welch, Chair of Music Education at the Institute of Education, University of London, has studied developmental and medical aspects of singing for 30 years: "The health benefits of singing are both physical and psychological. Singing has physical benefits because it is an aerobic activity that increases oxygenation in the blood stream and exercises major muscle groups in the upper body, even when sitting. Singing has psychological benefits because of its normally positive effect in reducing stress levels through the action of the endocrine system which is linked to our sense of emotional well-being. Psychological benefits are also evident when people sing together as well as alone because of the increased sense of community, belonging and shared endeavour."
