IF you have been known to enjoy a good sing along or like to jump right into a chorus, then the Sing Australia Shepparton group is for you.
Meeting every Thursday morning from 9.30 to 11am at the serene Baptist Church in Wyndham Street, the Sing Australia Group is keen to welcome new members of all ages to join their friendly and social group.
With a large repertoire of songs spanning six Sing Australia books, group leader, Meryl Fitzgerald said new members are not required to read music but need only to share the love of song.
Performing last December at the Mooroopna and Dookie Christmas carols, Meryl said the group hoped to return to retirement villages this year to perform, an outing that had been popularly received prior to Covid.
With an experienced and talented accompanist leading the music, the group practice time provides the perfect opportunity for people to stop in after dropping the kids off at school.
Participants are also welcome to stay on after the singing for social fun and friendship, something that Meryl cherishes as she said, “For me it’s the social part of the group that I really love.
“I truly enjoy meeting all the different people who come together in a shared appreciation of music, after all, that’s what it is all about, the love of singing!”
The Sing Australia Shepparton group meets every Thursday morning from 9.30 to 11am at the Shepparton Baptist Church at 600 Wyndham Street, Shepparton.
