I first found out about the youth choir from Karen Strickland. It's really worth the £4, these choirs require no speciality in singing, auditions or anything like that.

I joined Sing It Big in February 2014. I’ve always loved music and singing and after retiring the previous July, I was looking for exciting new hobbies. Joining the choir is one of the best things I have ever done. I’ve met some lovely people, made new friends and together we have a lot of fun both in rehearsals and in the concerts we perform. We all know we are very lucky to have Karen and Debbie at the helm; both professional musicians and singers. Their talent and professionalism is what makes Sing It Big unique through their wonderful arrangements of the songs we sing. Their harmonies are beautiful and sometimes very moving. I love too, the different ways in which our voices are used. We do think of ourselves now as a family but we have an open door and everyone is welcome. Come along and sing with us, it’s good for body and soul.

I just had to add my comments to all the others in praise of Singitbig. Tuesday evenings are full of fun,music and friendship all thanks to Karen and Debbie our very talented choirmistresses.
Their commitment and energy are inspirational and I always leave choir practice much happier than when I arrived. They and their music are a great tonic to all the members of the Singitbig family. Cant wait to start another new year.

I've been a member of sing it big since day 1. My daughter had singing lessons with karen and she told me about a choir debbie and karen were setting up. I said i would love to join, but wasnt a great singer, but loved doing it. So i went along to the first rehearsal, and the rest is history. Not only do i love the singing, the concerts, but ive made some lovely friends, and love karen and debbie to bits. Thanks for the last 4 years ladies, and here's to the next 4.

I had wanted to join a choir for a long time, but always came up with reasons not to try.
Choirs wouldn't sing the type of music I like, I'd find the social element far too difficult, I'm not a great singer, I'd be scared to audition, I'd never have the confidence to perform, I can't read music...
I eventually decided to find a way around the excuses, and discovered Sing It Big online. The website promised a wide variety of music, and I discovered that I wouldn't need to audition. The beauty of being in a choir is that my individual voice doesn't need to be anything special, but that together we all sound fantastic. Sing It Big is so inclusive and you're not going to be turned away, so there is no need to worry that you're not good enough.
I immediately felt welcome with Sing It Big. Everyone is friendly - it's like one big family! Karen and Debbie are brilliant, guiding us all to improve technically whilst we're having a lot of fun.
Our practices are a weekly highlight, and so far there hasn't been a song that I've not enjoyed singing, whether I've known of them already or they've been completely new to me. All songs and parts are recorded, so I'm able to practice at home and don't even need to be able to read music. I've even had the chance to be involved in the recording of a single, and public performances in front of big audiences.
The choir has had such a positive impact and I would recommend it to anyone - including those with as many excuses as I had!

I first heard Sing It Big at a performance at Chorley Library - it was an experience of fresh, strong voices and powerful, stirring harmonies - I was smitten there and then. Together with two colleagues we joined and have been at weekly practices and occasional performances and social get-togethers ever since. As male voices add a certain depth to the overall sound, my husband was persuaded to come too, so it has become our weekly music night which we greatly enjoy, always with the intention to practice a bit more in between sessions. Our choir leaders are absolute stars, with voices to die for and huge piano-, composing and educational skills. They keep us on our toes - although we don't have to be brilliant individually, as a choir they're always working on our improvement and a better sound. We all love them and really appreciate their commitment to provide more than just a choir experience - we are more like an open and growing family with the intention of 'making music together'. Thank you Karen and Debbie

When I came across Singitbig doing Christmas songs at Tesco Chorley in 2014, I said to my daughter: 'I've got to find out who they are and join!' I'd been looking for a choir to join to 2 years and Singitbig fit the bill completely. for me.... so much energy! I was also working my way through a family bereavement so I found the first few rehearsals quite emotional when I joined.... I didn't realise how much i'd missed singing and music...... Singitbig helped me through my sadness and helped me retrain my voice. I'm not a fantastic singer but that doesn't matter.... It's great to meet with a growing group of people who just enjoy singing their hearts out..... and we love singing for other people too! Come and join us..... you'll love it!
