Church choir communities are fun, supportive, flexible (you can walk into any church choir and belong), exciting (yes, I would like to go on a cathedral tour this summer!), and long lasting (sing into your 80s why not?). I heartily recommend them.
They are demanding, however. Think twice if you both sing and have small children. But they sure keep the mind sharp.
Pro-tip: if you’re an atheist, join an Anglican or Episcopal choir. Most of them are atheists too.
- _tik_ 4y agoI am looking for a choir group to join. I did not see young or middle age members in all the choir groups I visited.
- muglug 4y agoGenerally only the really professional church choirs have members in their 20s and 30s. If you want to sing with younger people you generally have to seek out people you know who sang in university, and found a way to keep it up.
- vintermann 4y agoI'm the youngest in the choir I currently sing in (a men's choir with mostly priests and farmers), and I was in the other choir I used to sing in too (a mixed choir with mostly doctors and nurses). Somebody has to be. There's a lot of youth and children's choirs too, so it's not as if it's dying out. It's just that people in the middle tend to have less time (the doctor choir was fairly middle aged, but you know how doctors are...)
