Choirs are a friendly way to meet people in Amsterdam. You sing together each week, so you do not need to make small talk all night.
How to find a choir
Look for a community or pop choir that says all levels are welcome. Ask if you can try one rehearsal first.
- Check the rehearsal language.
- Ask if there is an audition.
- Ask how long it lasts and where it meets.
What a first rehearsal is like
You may warm up, learn a part, and sing together. Mistakes are normal. The leader will help you find a comfortable voice part.
Questions to ask
- Is this good for beginners?
- Do I need to read music?
- What should I bring?
- Can I try one session?
