The Welcome Choir is on a mission to connect and to enliven. The science is out: singing makes people happy.

Book Welcome Choir for a one off workshop or create a 6 - 10 week residency that see employees come together to participate in and build their own choir.

Welcome Choir is a unique way to open or close a conference on a high. Participants regularly report back on the excitement, the collective mood lift and energy buzz.

Sessions run for approximately 1.5 hours with an accompanying instrumentalist (piano or guitar).
During the session, singers are taken through a quick warm up / tuning in for 15 minutes. This helps attendees break down inhibitions. Bek then teaches the song in 2 or 3 part harmony.

Physical wellbeing: Communal singing calms the heart rate, boosts the immune system, and increases
pain tolerance.

Did You Know ... People who frequently sing with others have a higher life expectancy than those who don’t.

Mental wellbeing: Communal singing releases feel-good neurochemicals like endorphins, dopamine and serotonin. It boosts positive mood and self-esteem and reduces depression and stress.

Social wellbeing: Communal singing builds feelings of cohesion and closeness and has been shown to bond people faster. This sense of connection isn’t just emotional, but physiological too.

The Welcome Choir promise is that participants will leave with a smile on their face and a spring in their step!
