We’re on a mission to bring people together.
At AkaBella Community Choir, we aim to inspire the love of singing in each other and our community while creating opportunities to learn, grow and have fun.
Whether you're a seasoned vocalist or someone who simply loves to sing in the shower, you'll find your place in our warm and welcoming community. Every voice matters, every harmony counts, and every Tuesday brings new joy.
When you join our choir, you're not just making beautiful music - you're nurturing your whole self. Singing together offers wonderful benefits that extend far beyond the rehearsal room.

The benefits of Community Singing
-
For Your Body
Choir singing naturally strengthens your breathing, supports heart health, and may even boost your immune system. The deep, mindful breathing we do together can be especially helpful for those managing respiratory conditions, while good singing posture gently strengthens your core.
-
For Your Mind
There's something magical about how singing lifts the spirit. Research shows that choir members experience reduced stress, improved mood, and enhanced cognitive function. The joy of learning new music and harmonising with others creates a natural sense of calm and accomplishment.
-
For Your Heart
Perhaps most precious of all is the connection you'll find with fellow singers. Our choir becomes a supportive community where friendships flourish, confidence grows, and everyone belongs. Whether you're seeking companionship, creative expression, or simply the joy of shared music-making, you'll find a welcoming home here.
