The Well Sing Choir (Evening Group) supports singers of all interests.
RIAM’s Well Sing Choir is for anyone who simply likes to sing.
The ordinary act of singing becomes extraordinary when a group of singing-lovers come together.
Do you sing around the house? In the shower? With friends or on a night out? This choir is for you!
Maybe you now have time to renew your passion for singing.
No choir experience or music reading is needed.
Research shows that singing boosts happy chemicals, mood, and well-being.
Octogenarian folk singer Peggy Seeger says, “The physical act of singing vibrates every bit of your body and makes you feel hopeful.”
As Martin Luther said, “As long as we live, there is never enough singing.”
Participants of all ages are welcome to join.

Here is what Well Sing Choir participants say:
- The Well Sing Choir is a brilliant idea. The classes are fun, and everyone seems to leave on a high note. I think everyone should know about this course as it’s food for the body and soul
- The time I spend at the choir each week is an hour and a half of ME time. Stress-free, calm, relaxed and chill out! Oh, and don't forget to BREATHE!
- I have been in Choirs in the past, but I never enjoyed it more than WSC. The accompanist is so capable and a beautiful musician. All the people there are so nice. Thank you very much to all!
- I look forward to each Wednesday and always coming out of the Well Sing Choir session on a high! Looking forward to the next term later in the year.
- I love every Wednesday with the choir. Beautiful music, lovely people and great fun. I love being a part of it, not forgetting our amazing accompanist, a true gent.
- I really enjoyed the Well Sing Choir. There was a very relaxed and no-pressure feel about our time there. Whether you can sing or read music, it was a great experience, and I highly recommend Well Sing Choir.
- I enjoyed the choir experience so much - people were very friendly, and a few of us went for coffee and a chat afterwards! It is great to meet other people - we have even arranged to meet over the summer for walks/coffee! A Big Thank You for providing me with a truly joyful experience!
- The course surpassed my expectations, making the experience extremely beneficial and enjoyable. Singers are being challenged to perform well while causing no stress. We were also very fortunate to have such an excellent accompanist. Many thanks to all involved in RIAM who made this possible.
