Learn a variety of songs, by ear
Learn a variety of songs, by ear
Rising Voices is an inclusive singing group created for people who just want to
sing for fun
build confidence
unwind in a friendly group.
We mostly sing acapella in two, three or four harmony parts.
Songs are taught by ear, we don't use sheet music so everyone learns at the same pace.
We’re not part of a franchise so we can sing whatever we want to.
Our songs are from all over the world and any genre - not too hard, not too easy. We choose songs that sound good and are fulfilling to sing.
Natural Voice ethos
Natural Voice ethos
Victoria Stead is a Natural Voice Leader - she follows their principles and attends regular training and inspiring workshops.
Natural Voice is a network of people who work with voice and song, and who believe that singing is everyone’s birthright, regardless of musical experience.
David Burbidge of Lakeland Voices sums it up when he says, “The people are just as important as the music.”
Victoria leads two other local natural voice choirs in Leighton Buzzard and Milton Keynes - Mamas Voices and Open Voices.
Natural Voice Principles
Natural Voice Principles
Celebrate the voice you were born with, rather than trying to train it to an ideal of perfection.
Build accepting, non-judgmental communities that sing together.
Welcome all voices into a group without audition and work from there to make a group sound.
Make learning by ear accessible to the whole group so that nobody needs to be able to read music.
