Below you can find details of some of our existing members and information on why they come to our choir:
RICHARD
I had sung in a choir at school but other than that my singing was in the car on my own with the music up loud, or maybe at the occasional raucous party. A few years ago, a friend suggested I come along and checkout Stonefield’s Choir, my friend has long since left but I’m still there. The sound you get when 60 to 100 people are singing together in harmony really gives you a buzz.
The guys are outnumbered by the girls but we hold our own.
I don’t know what it is about kiwi blokes but you guys are missing out not checking out the choir. Come along and give it a go, there are no auditions all you have to do is turn up and see how you get on.
REBECCA
After enjoying choir at school, I spent the next few decades singing in the shower. When I finally had the courage to join a choir again, I couldn’t have found a more welcoming one. Commuting for ½ hour from Beachlands every week is no trouble, as it gives me time to warm up my voice and practice our songs ready for a great evening of brain and vocal chord stretching. Chris (our music director) is an inspiration to us all, and always keeps us on our toes.
KARINA
Hi, my name is Karina. When Mel approached me to join the choir I thought the choir was a great idea but not for me as I had not sung in a choir since primary school! But the more I thought about it, the more I was reminded of how much fun it was. As a fan of musical TV shows such as Glee and The X-Factor, I had often thought how great it would be to part of a group and sing, so I stepped out of my comfort zone and joined. I am thoroughly enjoying the challenges of learning new songs and the sense of pride and achievement of performing in front of an audience is awesome and rewarding. I am continually building confidence and am so pleased I joined Stonefields Choir.
