We don’t ask people to audition for the Phil Choir, but just turning up and jumping in at the deep-end can be daunting. So, here’s some practical help if you fancy giving it a go but don’t read music, or want to brush up on how to do it: Reading sheet music in a choir: a beginner’s guide. It’s been put together by Making Music, UK’s membership organisation for leisure-time music, which we are a member of. Apart from the guide it offers several other ways to increase your knowledge and confidence in reading music. These include the EarMaster app with exercises to learn reading music.
