Exmouth Choral Society has launched its second series of Zoom singing sessions with Musical Director Laurence Blythe following our Autumn Zoom sessions which closed with a carol singing session. There was a good response from choir members to join the first Zoom sessions and we found the experience rewarding, enjoyable and fun. Even more members have joined the second series of choir rehearsals
In these sessions which will run until Easter the choir will be learning Haydn’s St. Nicholas Mass, which we hope to perform later in the year when we can get back together for a live concert.
Despite the challenges that Zoom choral singing presents, participants have found that the sessions have helped us keep connected to our choir and singing . Our excellent MD has done a magnificent job in providing us with all the tools and support during the sessions to get the most out of our Monday evening choir rehearsals.

On Monday 14th September, thirty five members of Exmouth Choral Society met on Zoom for the first of five sessions to restore our vocal chords ready for when we can all meet in person for live choral rehearsals.
Laurence , our MD helped us to get our vocal chords working again with some warm up exercises and a single harmony song to get us back into reading music again. We also covered some music theory.
Although we all miss our weekly rehearsals, everyone clearly enjoyed the session if the beaming smiles were anything to go by. The Zoom session worked really well and although could not hear each other singing, it felt like a wonderful communal experience.
