Come and Sing with us
You don’t have to read music to join the choir. You don’t even have to sing like a professional!
Tony’s brilliance as Musical Director is his ability to bring out the best in everyone. You will soon find you are learning to read music and your singing skills will greatly improve.
The choir is open to everyone over 18 living in the area. 13-18 year olds can join at the discretion of the committee.
The Choir meets once a week in venues in north and south Skye. There is a £4 donation for each rehearsal. The choir organises a rota for tea and cakes.
