Singing FUN-DAMENTALS

Julia from Henderson

Think you can’t sing – but would like to? It’s amazing how many people in our singing community have been told they can’t, or shouldn’t, sing. Have you always wanted to sing, enjoyed singing and been told you can’t. or want to sing, but the prospect seems a little daunting…

Think you can’t sing – but would like to? It’s amazing how many people in our singing community have been told they can’t, or shouldn’t, sing. Have you always wanted to sing, enjoyed singing and been told you can’t. or want to sing, but the prospect seems a little daunting…

All Together Now is a group of singing communities where we warmly welcome singers of all backgrounds and abilities. We provide great songs and excellent teaching, so that we can make beautiful music together, with lots of fun and laughter on the way!

This year we have started a new choir - FUN-DAMENTALS - for everyone who would love to sing in a choir but doesn't think they can sing, or wants to know a bit more about singing and choirs first, or just wants to build some confidence.

This is a low-pressure, no-questions-are-stupid, no judgement, come-and-give-it-a-go group. You can transfer from this one to another of our choirs later on, or stay here forever - it’s up to you!

Unlike our other choirs (where we only have Open Nights at the start of each term) you are welcome to come along at any stage – though we do ask you to *register* first, so that we have the resources to welcome & support you.

Fun-damentals
Venue: Mt Eden Normal Primary School Hall, corner of Valley Road and Sherbourne Road
Time: Tuesday 7.15pm to 9.15pm
Choir Leader: Claire Caldwell and Kate Bell

Register through our Join a Choir page, select Fun-damentals, and we'll be in touch!
www.thechoir.co.nz...

At All Together Now, we believe that singing is a learned skill so we welcome people at all stages of their singing development.

If you love to sing, or think you would love to sing and genuinely want to learn, our choirs are for you! We aim for a high musical standard, and we provide skilled teachers and great support to help everyone get there together.

As well as the opportunity to learn to sing well, our choirs offer great fun, a sense of community within each group and the wider organisation, and a way to contribute to our local communities by fundraising for charity.

With of this handy idea you can make yourself a lovely and fluffy little rug.
This rug is super easy to make.

You will need the following:
🔸Empty toilet rolls
🔸Wool in several different colours
🔸Scissors
🔸An anti-slip bath mat with small holes

Instructions:
🔹Place two toilet rolls together and wrap a good amount of wool around it. Next, use a little bit of wool to wrap between the two toilet rolls and then remove the toilet rolls from the wool.
🔹Tie a knot in the small piece of wool you used to keep the wool together and then cut open the sides of the wool.
🔹Use the scissors to trim the wool so it forms a nice round ball.
🔹Get out the anti slip bath mat and tie the ball to it.
🔹Repeat this process until the entire bath mat is covered in woollen balls like in the picture above

Once you’ve tied all of these woollen balls to the bath mat, you’ve got yourself a super cute rug!

See video as well is the above instructions seem a bit confusing.
Also there a few other ideas on the side panel of the video.:
