FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
- Do I need to have a cappella experience to join?
While having a cappella experience is helpful, it is not necessary. Any kind of past choral or singing experience may benefit you in learning how to blend your voice with others. The ability to read music is helpful but enthusiasm for singing is the most important attribute.
- Can I sing in a duet or smaller group?
Our director encourages a variety of musical ensembles. We have quartet opportunities and small group numbers in addition to full group pieces.
- Do I have to learn the songs on my own?
In many cases learning tracks are provided to assist in learning a voice part. You may also record at rehearsal to help yourself at home. Rehearsals provide time to review voice parts as a section and to hone interpretations of the music.
- My memory is terrible – how can I ever learn all the words?
Many singers are surprised by how routine it becomes to learn a song and build a repertoire through practice and our weekly repetition at rehearsals. Don’t let fear keep you from trying.
- Are there dues?
Members support the Williamsburg A Cappella Singers through annual dues which are determined based on the year’s projected budget. Dues are payable each January and prorated for those who join at other times of the year.
