What is WOAPA’s Beginners Group?
It’s a supportive and encouraging group which sings modern, lively songs - and we have loads of fun while we do it.
For those who have never dared but would like to sing, we provide a safe space where you can join other terrified singers to ease your way into singing and discover your voice.
We will help you overcome your fears to sing with confidence.
Singing purely for pleasure, the group is for those who would like to just sing - and not be expected to perform 
(but once you are confident, you may like to consider joining our existing Adult Singing Group which performs regularly).

Who is it for?
The group is for anyone who has little, or no, experience of singing in a group (or those who are a little 'rusty').
The group has been specially created for those who:

• Are scared or frightened of singing in public
  
• Consider themselves 'Non-singers'
• Would like to open the door to a future of enjoyable singing
• Have fun and experience the benefit of singing
• Want to just sing

What will I learn?
We will introduce you to some basic musical terms – time signatures, rhythms, singing in parts and vocal exercises. You will also build up a repertoire of modern, lively songs.

Where does the group meet?
WOAPA's 'Beginners' sessions are at Henry Box School, Witney, Wednesdays 6.00 – 7.15pm
Term time only, usually 12 sessions per term.

Sounds brilliant! What do I do next?
As with everything we do at WOAPA, we offer you a FREE taster session.  Book in, come along, meet us, join in
...and then decide. Why don't you bring a friend with you too!
