We recently heard about a non-audition pop choir. As someone who sings off tune, singing in a choir, where you can enjoy singing without judgement, like singing in church, sounds like a lot of fun. But for the rest of you out there who are musically-inclined, then this is for you too! Chloe Minost answered some questions for us and has even offered a free taster session to her upcoming Monday evening courses starting on 6 September through www.singgeneva.com.
Why did you start, Chloe? What has been the inspiration?
I love to sing. I've sung all my life, and been a professional singer for nearly 18 years. Having worked with a non-audition pop choir in London for a few years, I really saw the need for a musical activity for adults in Geneva where you can let off steam, have some fun and build a community.
Have you been working on this idea forever?
I started a small singing group for mums/carers of small babies after I had my second child at the end of 2019. I was dying to have a place to meet new people, and sing non baby songs (sorry Nellie the Elephant). I started SING and after the first session realised how much fun it was. Not just singing with others again, but writing the arrangements and recording the songs myself.
