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…

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!

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.

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
