A much-loved local women’s choir is inviting the Williamstown community to raise their voices and experience the joy of singing together, with a free workshop next month.
Hosted by the Willin Wimmin Choir, the workshop will be held on Wednesday 11 February at and is open to anyone who identifies as a woman – no auditions, no prior singing experience required.
Local residents Leanne Ivory and Ally Lacey both attended the workshop last year and joined the Willin Wimmin Choir soon after.
“The singing is fun, but the people especially are wonderful,” Ms Ivory said of the choir.
“You meet lots of different people and it’s just a really nice time.”
Ms Lacey said she hadn’t sung since high school and nearly talked herself out of coming until she saw a flyer.
“It was the little push I needed,” she said.
“The workshop felt like a welcoming sign that new members were really wanted. I haven’t looked back since.”
Ms Lacey described the choir as supportive and encouraging, with structured learning that still allows singers to challenge themselves.
“We were taught the songs step by step, but also had the chance to perform in my first term, which was really exciting. It’s been a great first year and a really lovely community to be part of.”
The Willin Wimmin Free Singing Workshop takes place from 7.30pm-9.30pm at Dennis Reserve Centre in Williamstown.
While the workshop is free, bookings are essential.
