Our new Auckland Central (Owairaka) choir opens on this week: 2 May (7:15pm to 9:15pm (Tuesdays at Mt Albert Grammar)
this is our 6th All Together Now community choir - Auckland Central (Grey Lynn), Auckland Central (Owairaka) - Auckland East - Hobsonville - Tauranga - Taupo
NO AUDITIONS! - We believe that singing is a learned skill, that almost everyone can acquire with a little effort and some good teaching.
Lots of people have grown up believing that they can’t sing, because of experiences they’ve had or things that have been said to them. There are many reasons why this happens, but we have seen over and over again that with good guidance and the right environment, people can find their way into singing.
Our community choirs aim to create an environment where people aged 16+ can find support, skills and encouragement to learn to sing well. We don’t promise it will be effortless but we do promise to do everything we can to support our singers.
Our Choir Leaders are all music graduates, and are either professionals working in the choral and vocal fields, or have years of experience of singing in choirs.

Senior Moment
A little silver haired lady calls her neighbour and says,
“Please come over here and help me. I have a puzzle and I can’t figure out how to get started.”
Her neighbour asks “ What is it meant to be when it’s finished?”
The little silver haired lady says
“According to the picture on the box it’s a rooster”
The neighbour decides to go over and help with the puzzle. She lets him in and shows him where she has the puzzle spread all over the table.
He studies the pieces for a moment, then looks at the box, then turns to her and says,
“First of all, no matter what we do we’re not going to be able to assemble these into anything resembling a rooster.”
He takes her hand,
Secondly “I want you to relax. Let’s have a nice cup of tea,”and then … he said with a deep sigh,
“Let’s put all the cornflakes back in the packet”
We're talking new year resolutions...
